Millions Mourn Khamenei as Funeral Chants Vow Revenge

The fourth and final day of funeral ceremonies for Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei drew massive crowds to the streets of Tehran, with mourners chanting slogans demanding revenge for his death in a U.S.-Israeli airstrike.

In a sudden change of plans, officials transferred the coffins of Khamenei and his family members directly to Azadi Square, a move that intensified the highly charged atmosphere.

The funeral came as tensions remained acute between Iran and the West.

The display of grief underscored the profound impact of the killing on the Iranian regime and its supporters.
