Crowds of Iranians marched through the streets of Tehran on Monday in a funeral procession for slain leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The coffins of the slain leader and four of his family members were driven in a large truck through the streets.

As they passed under a bridge, mourners hurled stones at a billboard hung from above showing U.S. President Donald Trump with a bullet aimed at his head. The crowds waved Iranian flags and red banners with a slogan calling out to the “avengers of Khamenei”.
The war has ended with a preliminary peace agreement reached last month that left Iran’s clerical leadership in power and claiming victory, with newfound clout from exerting control over global energy supplies through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump has also claimed victory, although the aims he gave at the outset – destroying Iran’s nuclear and missile capabilities, ending its ability to attack neighbours and creating conditions for Iranians to topple their leaders – have yet to be achieved.
