Funeral of Iranian President Raisi Held in Tehran | Iran’s Khamenei Leads Islamic Funeral G18V Iran’s Supreme leader Ali Khamenei performed funeral prayers at the university of Tehran on Wednesday (May 22) ahead of the funeral of President Ebrahim Raisi and his accompanying delegation, who died in a helicopter crash near the Azerbaijan border at the weekend. Khamenei did not deliver any speech and immediately left the event. Pundits are comparing his demeanour to his emotional state when he led funeral prayer for IRGC-Quds force commander Qassem Soleimani. Funeral ceremonies for President Ebrahim Raisi and other victims of the May 19 helicopter crash are underway, while questions are being asked about the incident. A large crowd of thousands of people attended the state-organized funeral procession, in which government supporters and state employees are tasked to attend. #ebrahimraisi #Khamenei #iranpresident #irannews #news18 News18 Mobile App -
