“It's an extraordinarily long funeral, as we said, quite unorthodox as first as far as Islamic norms are concerned, to be doing it quite in this way.” Hundreds of thousands of Iranians are taking to the streets to mourn the late Ayatollah Khameini who was killed in a US-Israeli strike, while the Iranian regime claims between 12 and 20 million would come out, says professor in modern history at St Andrews University Ali M. Ansari. Ali Ansari was speaking to Kate McCann and Stig Abell on Times Radio Breakfast. Listen live every Monday to Thursday, 6-10am.
