Millions join funeral procession for Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei
Crowds grew as they moved through Tehran as mourners wore black and carried flags with the slogan ‘we will rise’
A millions strong crowd assembled on Monday to take part in the funeral procession of Iran’s assassinated supreme leader.
The scale, and depth of the march, however engineered, is an extraordinary turn around for a country that only seven months ago was gripped by street protests that saw thousands killed by government security forces.
Many will say that the assembly was a monument to a misconceived war launched on Iran by Donald Trump in February.
