@globalsouthworld: There were tears, embraces and solemn prayers as religious leaders from across Asia, Europe and the Middle East gathered in Tehran to pay their final respects to Iran's late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Senior clerics and representatives from countries including Russia, India, China, Turkey, Iraq, Bangladesh, Hungary, and Bosnia and Herzegovina arrived ahead of the multi-day funeral ceremonies, many visibly emotional as they joined mourners at the Imam Khomeini Mosque. The ceremonies mark the beginning of six days of national mourning, with a public funeral procession planned in Tehran before Khamenei is laid to rest at the Imam Reza Shrine in Mashhad. Delegations from more than 90 countries are expected to attend what is set to be one of the largest state funerals in the Islamic Republic's history. #GSWNews #Iran #Tehran #AliKhamenei #MiddleEast
