The state funerals for Revolutionary Guard leaders General Hossein Salami and General Amir Ali Hajizadeh took place in Tehran, following their deaths in early June during Israel's campaign against Iran's nuclear facilities. The event attracted an estimated million mourners, chanting anti-American and anti-Israeli slogans, reflecting public sentiment amidst escalating tensions. The Revolutionary Guards, a key military and security force in Iran, have evolved significantly since their inception in 1979. The situation has intensified with U.S. involvement, leading to a ceasefire declaration following a series of bombings.
Coffins were draped in the Iranian flag with large portraits of those killed attached, commemorating General Salami and General Hajizadeh, both killed in the conflict.
The funeral procession saw more than 1 million people turnout, with mourners chanting slogans against America and Israel, showcasing the public's sentiment amidst the conflict.
