❗️NEW: Imam Khamenei’s funeral is the BIGGEST recorded funeral in history
According to official estimates, 41 to 43 million people attended the funeral ceremony in total over 6 days in 5 cities: Tehran, Qom, Najaf, Karbala, and Mashhad.
The ceremonies in Tehran lasted 3 days, while in Qom, Najaf-Karbala, and Mashhad, they lasted 1 day each.
41 to 43 million number is based on a combination of field data and official sources: It includes the number of people using public transportation to reach the ceremony, the number of active mobile phones in the Mosalla and along the procession route, the average time each person spent at the ceremony (approximately 2,5 hours), the estimated population density along the Tehran march route, the distance from the Jamkaran Mosque to the Lady Masoumeh Shrine in Qom, and the distance from the airport to the Imam Reza Shrine in Mashhad.
All of these factors were considered as supporting data in the calculations.
In addition, official figures from Iraqi authorities, provided by the Prime Minister's Office, confirm the presence of approximately 10 million people at the ceremonies in Najaf and Karbala.

The footballing world would have so much more time for Ronaldo if he’d just come out and said words to the effect of: “I was desperate to win a World Cup in my career, I didn’t, it’s devastating.”
It’s so simple, it’s entirely normal.

Jürgen Klopp on Donald Trump reportedly having called Gianni Infantino to request a review of Folarin Balogun's red card: "If that really was the case, then that's crazy. Let's just say: this is our game, not theirs. These two people, who both have no idea about football, should have nothing to do with that. That was a red card. There's no two ways about it. We're sorry for Balogun because he didn't mean to do it. But that's what the rules say." [@MagentaTV]
Sepp Blatter had a finesse with his own corruption. It never impeded with the love of the game. Infantino on the other hand is just a straight up jaguda.
Just to be clear, then. FIFA:
1) can't possibly intervene when Iran are forced to move, a referee is denied a visa, or fans are barred from the USA
2) can absolutely intervene when a decision goes against the USA that Donald Trump doesn't like
