Tens of thousands poured into Tehran for the funeral of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, slain in an airstrike at 86, as mourners wept, beat their chests, and roared calls for vengeance against Israel and the U.S. His death, timed with the 250th anniversary of America’s founding, amplified anti-American chants, while his son Mojtaba is poised to ascend as supreme leader — a transition unfolding amid Iran’s fragile peace talks and strategic grip over the Strait of Hormuz. The Grand Mosalla was a sea of grief, with banners, flags, and traditional rituals honoring a father-figure leader whose passing stirs national mourning and a rallying cry for retribution. Khamenei’s body will tour cities before burial Thursday at Imam Reza shrine in Mashhad, as Iran braces for a future shaped by grief, geopolitics, and the looming question of who will lead next.
