Mashhad city today. This is not a "rallying around the flag effect." This is far deeper and far more consequential. The support for the Islamic Republic among the Iranian people is far greater and far more profound than Western "analysts" care to admit.
Current estimates of +5 million Iranians are now attending the funeral of their beloved leader in his final resting place (holy city of Mashhad).
Truly unbelievable scenes.
By far the largest funeral procession in the world.
MASHHAD, Iran: "U.S. bombs do not deter us," chant millions throughout the City of Mashhad, during heightened tensions, signaling defiance in the face of recent military strikes.
A remarkably resilient nation.
Aerial footage captures the millions of mourners who took to the streets of Mashhad to bid farewell to the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

Don't worry about Tehran. Don't worry about Qom. Look at Najaf.
Over 4 million came for his funeral.
Who did you kill? I bet you regretted your act of terror the second after you committed it.
Iraq, the country you invaded, whose women and children you raped. Over 2 million killed by bombs and starvation.
Iraq, the nation of Imam Hossein. You created ISIS, armed and trained them to kill, slaughter, and rape. And yet, the Axis of Resistance, Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, alongside their soldiers, defended the land.
You killed Soleimani on the same soil that Saddam once exploited to kill his best comrades and brothers. The same regime that was armed by the world with chemical weapons and fighter jets to invade Iran.
See? Do you see the outcome of your hysterical acts of aggression? Can you see how your actions contradict each other, one after another? Now face the reality, face the outcome of your acts:
4 million came for Sayyid Ali.
