Thousands attended Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's funeral as mourners flooded the streets in Iran Thursday.   Khamenei was buried at the Shrine of Imam Reza, Iran’s holiest shrine, following a week of mass funeral processions and rallies.  Khamenei was killed in an airstrike on the first day of the war on Feb. 28, as part of a U.S.-Israeli barrage against Iran that set off a months-long conflict that has killed thousands and throttled worldwide energy supplies.  Hostilities with the United States burst out again this week despite a truce, with Iran still controlling the vital Strait of Hormuz waterway and proclaiming its victory in having survived a months-long assault by its most powerful enemies, Israel and the U.S. For more info, please go to https://globalnews.ca Subscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDc Follow Global News on X HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mt Follow Global News on TikTok HERE: https://www.tiktok.com/@globalnews.ca?lang=en #GlobalNews #i
