HKFuneral ceremonies for Iran's former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei began in Tehran, with thousands gathering to pay tribute. The state-run events, expected to last six days, aim to demonstrate national unity and strength against external adversaries. Iranian officials estimate up to 20 million people may participate in Tehran alone over the next three days. The mourning period follows Khamenei's death during the U.S.-Israel attack on Iran on February 28, marking his nearly 35 years in power. His son, Mojtaba Khamenei, has been named as his successor but has not publicly appeared since taking office.
Lecture du biais (Centre): The article presents the funeral ceremonies as a state-organized event with emphasis on national unity and opposition to foreign forces. While the tone is formal and aligned with Iranian state narratives, there is no overt ideological slant or partisan framing. The focus remains on factual reporting
