"Large crowds gathered in Khorramabad, western Iran, to mark the 15th day since the killing of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and to protest the ongoing war between Iran and a US-Israeli coalition on Monday. Footage shows thousands of people marching through the city’s streets waving Iranian flags. Some demonstrators were seen carrying umbrellas as rain fell during the procession. Following the announcement of Khamenei’s assassination on the first day of the conflict, memorial ceremonies were held across several Iranian provinces, drawing large crowds. On February 28, the United States and Israel launched a joint military operation against Iran, with Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu stating the campaign aimed to dismantle Iran’s missile capabilities. Ali Khamenei served as the Supreme Leader of Iran, the country’s highest political and religious authority, from June 4, 1989, when he succeeded Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic."
