Millions Mourn Khamenei as Iran Seethes

Huge crowds flooded Tehran for the funeral of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, killed in a U.S.-Israeli airstrike, with chants vowing revenge.

The state reappointed a hardline judiciary chief as the country projected defiance.

Mourners called for the assassination of President Trump during the procession.

The body of Khamenei arrived in Qom ahead of a final burial in Mashhad.
