Thousands of Iranians rally in memory of late supreme leader Khamenei

Thousands of Iranians paid tribute on Thursday to the late supreme leader Ali Khamenei, who was killed in US-Israeli strikes at the start of the Middle East war. Ceremonies were held across the country, including in Tehran, Urmia, and Gorgan, where participants held portraits of Khamenei. The national homage began at 9:40 am, the time at which Khamenei was killed on February 28. Due to the war, a state funeral has yet to take place for the leader.
