A few intriguing observations for the West to see of farewell to Iran’s martyred Leader

TEHRAN - On Saturday, July 4, I attended the massive, multi-million-person funeral procession for Iran’s martyred Leader with my daughters and two of my grandchildren. It is no exaggeration to say that I was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of weeping people who were shedding tears from the depths of their souls for the loss of their icon. However, the most important point was not just the grief, but the hope and the strange, intense glint in their eyes—a look that signaled a firm determination to continue their resistance.

Analysis-Khamenei funeral signals Iran's defiance and new regional order
By Samia NakhoulBEIRUT, July 6 (Reuters) - The funeral of late Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was more than a national farewell. The sea of mourners in Tehran sent a message to the United States and Israel that their attempt to break the Islamic Republic had failed. Rather than looking weakened by the war that began with U.S. and Israeli strikes on February 28, Iran presented itself as defiant, unified and determined to shape what comes next.
