    Chants of ‘death to America’ at funeral for Iranian military commanders and scientists

    Cliff Notes

    • Thousands mourned in Tehran for 60 individuals, including military commanders and scientists, killed during Iran’s recent conflict with Israel.
    • The funeral procession, attended by senior Iranian officials, featured prominent figures such as General Hossein Salami, showcasing national solidarity with chants against the US and Israel.
    • The fighting, lasting almost two weeks, resulted in significant casualties on both sides, with Iran reporting approximately 610 deaths and Israel confirming 28 fatalities.

    Chants of ‘Death to America’ at Funeral for Iranian Military Commanders and Scientists

    Thousands of people have taken to the streets of Tehran to mourn top military commanders, nuclear scientists and others killed in Iran’s 12-day war with Israel.

    State-run Press TV said the event – dubbed the “funeral procession of the Martyrs of Power” – was held for 60 people, including four women and four children.

    It said at least 16 scientists and 10 senior commanders were among the dead, including head of the Revolutionary Guard General Hossein Salami and the head of the guard’s ballistic missile programme, General Amir Ali Hajizadeh.

    Their coffins were driven to Azadi Square on trucks adorned with their pictures as well as rose petals and flowers, as crowds waved Iranian flags.

    Chants of “death to America” and “death to Israel” could be heard.

    Attending the funeral were Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and other senior figures, including Ali Shamkhani who was seriously wounded during the fighting and is an adviser to Iran‘s supreme leader.

    There was no immediate sign of the supreme leader in the state broadcast of the funeral.

    Iran’s president later thanked people for turning out.

    “From the bottom of my heart, I thank you dear people,” Mr Pezeshkian wrote on social media.

    “With love, you bid farewell to the martyrs of our homeland, and our voice of unity reached the ears of the world.”

    Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi called the deaths “hard and painful”.

    Seemingly referencing the recent airstrikes, he added: “Institutions and structures, however important and valuable, return with new glory and greater strength over time, even if it takes years.”

    Israel, the only Middle Eastern country widely believed to have nuclear weapons, said its attacks on Iran aimed to prevent Tehran from developing its own nuclear weapons.

    The US joined in by launching strikes on three nuclear enrichment sites in Iran, which Donald Trump said left them “obliterated”, however the exact extent of the damage remains unclear.

    Iran denies having a nuclear weapons programme and the UN nuclear watchdog, which carries out inspections in Iran, has said it has “no credible indication” of an active, coordinated weapons project.
