Iranians rally nationwide to honour late leader Ali Khamenei

What Happened

Thousands of Iranians gathered Thursday to commemorate late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who died February 28 in US-Israeli strikes at his Tehran residence. State television showed rallies across multiple cities including Tehran, Urmia, and Gorgan. Khamenei governed Iran for nearly 40 years. His son Mojtaba, his successor, did not attend the public events. The commemoration began at 9:40am, matching Khamenei's death time. A formal state funeral remains pending due to ongoing Middle East conflict.
