Mourners at the funeral for Iran’s late supreme leader Ali Khamenei are heard chanting: “Our slogan is one word: Revenge, revenge,” and “We will kill, we will kill he who killed our Imam.”
Earlier, the huge crowd of government supporters chanted “Death to America! Death to Israel!”
The new supreme leader, Khamenei’s son Mojtaba Khamenei, has not been seen in any new image since being wounded in the strike that killed his father.
