Crowds of people have flooded the streets of Iran's major cities to honor the memory of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.
The Operative Information Center-OMM reports, citing the Tasnim news agency, that thousands of Iranians gathered across the country starting from the early hours of the morning.
The participants, symbolizing national unity and mourning, took to the streets to commemorate the leader who was killed in an attack by the United States and Israel in Tehran on Saturday. Mourners dressed in black carried portraits of Khamenei and banners, chanting slogans to express their condemnation of the U.S. and Israeli regimes.
The event marks a significant turning point in the region's geopolitical landscape. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had served as the Supreme Leader of Iran since 1989, holding the highest political and religious authority in the country. Such large-scale public demonstrations are characteristic of state-organized mourning periods in Iran, often serving as a platform for the government to demonstrate domestic support and resilience against foreign pressure.
