Tehran's streets were packed with black-clad mourners Monday as a sea of people turned out to pay their respects to Qasem Soleimani, the Iranian general killed by a US drone strike in Baghdad last week. The mourners carried photographs of Soleimani, a revered and powerful figure who headed the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps elite Quds Force and led Iran's overseas operations.
Many of those on the streets of the Iranian capital were visibly upset and angry; others shouted "down with the USA" and "death to the USA." Iranian state television said millions attended, although this was yet to be verified.
Thousands of Iranian mourners take part in a funeral procession in Iran's capital, Tehran on Monday, January 6, for head of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Quds Force unit, Gen. Qasem Soleimani, Iraqi paramilitary chief Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, and others killed in a US airstrike in Baghdad, Iraq, on January 3.
