According to the agency, tens of thousands of people gathered in the center of the Iranian capital. The coffins of Khamenei and four members of his family were transported through the city on a special platform, and fire trucks sprayed water to cool the crowd due to the heat.
During the procession, participants threw stones at a billboard depicting Donald Trump and held signs with the inscriptions "KILL TRUMP" and "There will be blood," which featured Trump, U.S. Vice President JD Vance, Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Iran's mission to the UN, commenting on Khamenei's death, stated that the perpetrators of the strike "sowed seeds of hatred and revenge in the heart of the Iranian nation, which will one day seize them by the collar."
Reuters also notes that during the mourning ceremony near Khamenei's coffin, three of his sons prayed, but his successor as Iran's Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, did not appear publicly. According to the agency, he is believed to have been injured during the attack that killed his father.
