Hundreds of thousands of mourners gathered in Tehran on Saturday for the start of a dayslong funeral for Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Tara Kangarlou, a global affairs journalist and author of The Heartbeat of Iran, said most attendees were "more emboldened, hardline factions of the society," making the crowd unrepresentative of broader public attitudes toward the regime. #Iran #Ali Khamenei #funeral š Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen š“ LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN š Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen
