Vast crowds have poured into Tehran to attend funeral services for Iran's late Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, who was killed on February 28 in a joint US-Israeli airstrike on his compound. The mourners, many displaying signs of grief, pack the streets as ceremonies proceed.

US President Donald Trump has assured that neither side will launch attacks during the funeral. "Neither side will shoot the other during the funeral proceedings," Trump stated, adding that negotiations with Iran will continue after the ceremonies are concluded.

The funeral marks a significant moment in the ongoing tensions between Iran and the US-Israel alliance, with the international community watching closely for any further developments.
