Tehran, July 6 (EFE).- Millions of Iranians joined the funeral procession for Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Tehran on Monday, chanting calls for vengeance over his killing on the first day of the war involving Iran, Israel and the United States on Feb. 28.
The procession began early in the morning on Damavand Avenue and passed through Imam Hosein and Enqelab squares before ending at the iconic Azadi Square, covering approximately 12 km across the capital from east to west.
The hearse carrying Khamenei’s coffin, along with those of four members of his family, later joined the procession from central Enqelab Square.
Large crowds lined the route and filled surrounding streets in one of the biggest public gatherings seen in Tehran in years, despite intense summer heat.
Participants carried Iranian flags, portraits of Khamenei and banners calling for vengeance, as well as posters demanding the deaths of US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
