Iran’s supreme leader was absent from his father’s funeral prayer in Tehran, where hundreds of thousands of mourners called for revenge on the US and Israel.

The ceremonies, held at Tehran's Grand Mosalla religious complex, are among the largest public events in Iran since Khamenei and four members of his family were killed in Israeli airstrikes on February 28,

The funeral, deemed the "funeral of the century," began with ceremonies across Iran and Iraq, led by senior clerics amid heightened security fears.
