Mourners pack the streets during the funeral procession for martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei in Mashhad, Iran, July 9, 2026.
Tens of millions of Iranians and devotees from across the world turned the funeral ceremonies for the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, into the largest procession the world has ever witnessed, according to a report.
The six-day grand farewell and burial rites for the revered Leader were held across five cities — Tehran, Qom, Najaf, Karbala, and Mashhad — drawing massive, passionate crowds that defied all previous records, the Fars News Agency reported.
The ceremonies included three days in Tehran, two days of public mourning at the Grand Mosalla and one day of the main funeral procession, with each of the other cities hosting a full day of tributes. Many mourners traveled between cities, multiplying the scale of participation and creating a continuous wave of devotion.
Official estimates, compiled from multiple independent field and government sources, confirm that between 41 and 43 million people took part in the historic events.
These figures are based on a rigorous combination of data including public transport passenger records to and from ceremony sites, active mobile phone signals in key areas such as the Mosalla and main procession routes, average individual attendance duration of approximately two and a half hours, detailed crowd density calculations along Tehran’s procession paths, physical area measurements from Jamkaran Mosque to the Holy Shrine in Qom, and the route from the airport to the Imam Reza Holy Shrine in Mashhad.
The endless sea of mourners, who had gathered since early morning, accompanied the vehicle carrying the blessed bodies, transforming the streets of Mashhad into a scene of unparalleled grandeur and devotion.
The sheer scale of the gathering defied description. From the moment the funeral vehicle entered Imam Reza Street, it was completely surrounded by waves of mourners who had traveled from every corner of Iran, all united in grief and determination.
Their tear-streaked faces and fervent chants filled the air, creating an atmosphere that observers described as one of the most remarkable displays of national unity in recent history.
Iraqi authorities, through the Prime Minister’s Office, separately verified the presence of around 10 million mourners in Najaf and Karbala, providing an important independent pillar for the overall calculation.
Even when applying the most conservative methodologies, Iranian officials and relevant authorities emphasize that this monumental event has surpassed every comparable gathering of the past century.
It stands without doubt as the single largest funeral procession in recorded history, a powerful and everlasting testament to the deep love and unwavering allegiance of the Iranian people and the broader Islamic Ummah for their martyred Leader.
The Leader and members of his family were martyred in a terrorist attack on February 28, carried out by the United States and the Zionist regime against the leader’s residence.
Among those martyred were new Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei’s wife, the late leader’s son-in-law; a daughter of the late leader and his 14-month-old granddaughter.
The funeral ceremonies began last Friday, with tributes from political officials from over 45 countries and scholars from more than 90 nations. This was followed by farewell ceremonies at Tehran’s Mosalla over the weekend, where millions paid their respects.

What utter BS.
> Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khameneiwas was widely revered throughout the Islamic world. His murderers don’t want you to know that, which is why the U.S. is now blocking access to Iran’s PressTV
I’ve been reading PressTV since the beginning of the “war”. There’s nothing there. Nothing at all. Just “we will prevail” and, for the last week, “our glorious martyred leader”, If his “murderers” are really blocking it, then they needn’t bother.

Yep. Those ragheads infect the world, so they have them “speaking” for the country they invaded, as if the entire population of country X is “heartbroken” by some dead guy.
What they’re trying to make you believe, by the way, is that every muslim on earth loved him. LOL. They’re also stating, whether they mean to or not, that he was more important than muhammed, which is punishable by death in the muslim world. So they’re contradicting themselves. Another thing which is “wrong” under islam, is this endless threatening. You’re supposed to, like under all “religions”, pretend you’re “happy” and “good”. Not go around threatening to kill everyone. But I’m sure you know that.
I wonder if rixon will block this…
If you want the truth about iran and the “war”, start with the second half of this:

He tells you about who runs and who has been running “iran” for centuries. But you wouldn’t want to know that. You’re supposed to believe only what you’re told today and forget about yesterday.
As mathis is the (actual – no, really) most censored person on the intershit, rixon might ban him. Notice how mathis has no wikishitea page! It may seem a small thing, but like so many small things, it’s a dead giveaway. Try linking to him on unsocial media and see what happens…
Trump knows nowhere near that many will watch his funeral much less attend it.
I heard that Iranian authorities had to open up a 2nd porta potty to ease the line on the first one, as Billions (not millions) of unemployed Iranians marched and mourned over the passing of their leader. Also on hand were reporters from the Post who were passing out the List to everyone.
Maha Kumbh Mela record single day is 60 million
40 million happens on the 3 or 4 most auspicious bathing dates.
Average 10-12 million per day
for 46 straight days.
During the historic 2025 Maha Kumbh Mela, local administrators tracked a record-shattering 663 million total visits over its 45-day duration.

Yet that lying propaganda whore GB news will focus ONLY on the US-led and armed street gangs whose riots targeted innocent Iranians merely defending themselves. But a lying Ziomedia will not want that fact leaking out.
Those Zio-backed heavily armed and financed street rioters are STILL being used to twist the narrative by the lying Iranophobic Ziomedia whores in the UK and Western MSM in general.
I see in MAX IGANS video of the theherans orderly, not crime ridden + clean
like germanys cities were under Hitler before war until jewSA/UK spread
their wrath over us like they do now under Trump . the west is ridden by crime
+ corruption + greenleftliberal pervert traitors . west will receive what it earns !
I bless the Iranians, may their bravery + Allah help them . they stay alone like
the Palestinians .
