It's always a moment of reflection when such a towering-and controversial-figure leaves the stage. I wonder what this really means for Iran's future and the region.
Iran begins a procession through Tehran for Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s funeral
TEHRAN: Iran began a procession Monday through its capital, Tehran, for the funeral of the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Khamenei’s flag-draped coffin, and those of his family killed Feb. 28 in an airstrike at the start of the war launched by Israel and the United States, will be carried on board a truck. They will be taken through the streets of Tehran on their way to Mehrabad International Airport. Iran’s theocracy plans to see large crowds attend the ceremony across the city to show popular support for the government.
