Massive Funeral in Tehran for Khamenei Features Revenge Flags and Hezbollah Militias
Official footage and videos from Tehran reveal the scale of the funeral events for Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. In Tehran's Revolution Square, large crowds of citizens waved red "flags of revenge," symbolizing intentions for a significant military or strategic response. These flags were displayed alongside images of the late leader and senior regime officials.
Beyond the local masses, the footage highlights a prominent presence of representatives from the Shiite axis in the region. Notably, an organized delegation from the pro-Iranian "Kata'ib Hezbollah" militia from Iraq attended to pay their respects. Additional recordings show the vehicle carrying the coffins of Khamenei and his family struggling to navigate through the dense crowds blocking central Tehran's main routes.
During the funeral, participants were also filmed throwing stones at a picture of former U.S. President Donald Trump while chanting "America is the great Satan." The event underscores the regime's continued anti-American rhetoric and the solidarity among allied militias in the region.
