There are big funeral events for Ali Khamenei in Iran. He was the leader of Iran. He died in February. An air strike from Israel killed him. Millions of people came to the city Tehran on Monday. They walked with his coffin through the streets. It was very hot. It was over 30 degrees. The people wore black clothes. They carried flags. Many people shouted for revenge. They burned flags of the USA and Great Britain. A poet wanted to kill Donald Trump. Donald Trump is the president of the USA.
The regime shows its power with these events. The regime is a strict government. Many people protested against the government earlier this year. Many thousands of people died. Now the leaders want to show support from the people. People came from small towns and villages. The government made Monday a holiday. All people could come to the funeral. Famous politicians from the reformers did not come. Reformers want to change the country. This shows the country is still divided.
One important man was not at the event. This is Mojtaba Khamenei. He is the son of the dead leader. He became the new leader in March. Nobody saw him since February. Some people say he is hurt. Others say he hides from Israel. The body of the father travels to many places. First the body goes to the city Qom. Then the body goes to the country Iraq. Ali Khamenei gets his grave in Mashhad on Thursday.
