Last night we were at Grand Musalla of Tehran, on the ground where the masses of people, millions, have gathered for the farewell ceremony on the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei.
His body lies alongside four of his family members killed in the same US-Israeli assassination strike on 28 February this year: his Daughter Sayyida Bushra Hosseini Khamenei; Son-In-Law, Dr. Misbah al-Huda Baqeri Kani, Daughter-In-Law, Zahra Haddad Adel; his 14 months old Granddaughter, Zahra Mohammadi Golpayegani.
The Imam Khomeini Musalla (also called Grand Mosalla or Musalla of Tehran) is a massive religious complex in Abbasabad, Tehran. A site area of Approximately 263 hectares. The Interior/building area is said to be around 223,500 m². The Main Courtyard (central prayer area/sahn) is up to 52,000 m². This is the primary open space where large gatherings and viewings occur.
In the video below, I’m standing on one side of the complex yard. There is still much more, & people are everywhere inside and outside the complex.
The funeral had been delayed due to the war. But finally, Iran has a chance to mourn the painful loss of its martyrs.
