Iran holds mass funeral for senior official killed in strikes

Iran held a large funeral in Tehran for Ali Larijani, a senior security official, and others who were killed in what multiple reports describe as U.S. and Israeli strikes. Palestinian resistance factions were among those mourning his death.

Many reports describe Larijani as an extremely influential figure within Iran's leadership, suggesting his loss creates a significant crisis. The funeral also honored Qasem Soleimani, a military commander killed in a 2020 U.S. strike.
