Tehran's streets were lined with immense crowds as Iran conducted the funeral procession for its late Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Khamenei died at the beginning of the ongoing US-Israel war earlier this year.
The procession passed through the capital's prominent Enghelab Square, where mourners carried Iranian flags and red banners signifying martyrdom and vengeance. BBC's chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet reported from Tehran, noting the scale of the public mourning and the carefully managed media environment. International media organizations operating in Iran are subject to restrictions on their reporting, with specific limitations imposed on the BBC's Persian Service in this instance.
