Funeral processions held in holy Iraqi cities for Iran’s late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei

Funeral processions for Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei were held in the Iraqi cities of Najaf and Karbala, where his body was displayed amid mourning ceremonies. Khamenei was killed in U.S. and Israeli strikes in late February, and his body has been moved between holy sites before returning to Iran. Ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran persist, with recent strikes raising fears of a breakdown in an interim war-ending agreement.
