Iran begins days of funeral ceremonies for slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei #shorts

As America celebrates its 250th birthday, the Iranian regime holds what might be the biggest funeral ever.

Today, six days of funeral commemorations have begun in Iran for the country's former supreme leader Ali Khamenei killed in US-Israeli strikes at the start of the war.

State sources predict 20 million attendees.

That would make it the largest funeral ever considering the number proportional to a country's population.

Khamenei's body is lying in state in central Tehran today and tomorrow before going on a journey in and out of the country ending in a burial in Iran's holiest city, Mashhad.

This is, by all accounts, the regime's carefully choreographed display of its survival and stability after it was challenged in ways it had not seen.

Iran says guests from over 100 countries, including heads of state and government, are coming to pay their respects.

But leaders of its most powerful friends, China and Russia, haven't come.

They've sent envoys.

Just like some countries Iran hit with retaliatory strikes during the war.

There are also guests who are sworn enemies of each other.

That's the Afghan Taliban and that's the anti-Taliban resistance.

But projecting international legitimacy isn't the regime's priority

now.

These senior political and military officials haven't been seen together since the start of the war.

They're the ones now vying for power and influence in a vacuum left by the very leader.

they're now mourning.

And in their grief, there's no sign of the internal fractures haunting the leadership between hardliners opposed to negotiations and pragmatists desperate to ease the yoke on Iran's economy.

Whether the current supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei will appear at any point over the coming days is anyone's guess.

But the message the regime and its supporters want to send is clear.

Their devotion to their theocracy and its ideals is unshakable.
