## Resource

Massive funeral ceremonies for Iran’s late supreme leader Ali Khamenei have begun in Tehran, drawing an estimated 15-20 million mourners over six days — the largest gathering since the 1989 burial of his predecessor. The timing, coinciding with the anniversary of American independence, and the sight of red banners symbolizing vengeance, underscore the charged political atmosphere. Khamenei’s body, displayed in a glass casket, sparked chants of “death to America” as mourners, many traveling miles, prepare for a national procession to Qom and eventual burial in Mashhad. His son and successor, Mojtaba Khamenei — reportedly wounded in the same strikes that killed his father and other family members — has remained conspicuously absent. International observers, including Pakistan’s Prime Minister and a Russian envoy, are present as Tehran warns the U.S. and Israel to avoid miscalculations amid heightened regional tensions.
