July 4, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
Massive crowds gathered in Tehran on 4 July for the farewell ceremony of slain Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was killed on the first day of the US-Israeli war on the Islamic Republic. Waving Iranian flags and carrying portraits of Khamenei, Iranians filled Tehran's Imam Khomeini Grand Mosalla and the surrounding streets, chanting slogans demanding justice for his killing. Iranian media described the massive turnout as a “renewal of allegiance to the ideals of the Islamic Revolution, Islam, and the martyrs, symbolizing the nation's commitment to dignity, independence, and resistance.”

How Decades Of Anti-Iran Hysteria Set Us On The Path To War

The unthinkable has happened: the United States and Israel have launched a war on Iran, now in its second week. More than 1,300 people have reportedly been killed by American taxpayer-funded munitions, and some 100,000 displaced, while hospitals, schools, playgrounds and other civilian infrastructure have been destroyed. The assassination of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in the opening US-Israeli strikes on 28 February was intended to decapitate the country's leadership and advance the regime-change goals openly declared by the Trump administration.

Before the US and Israel launched a war against Iran on Saturday morning and killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the CIA assessed that if the Iranian leader were killed, his rule would likely be replaced by “hardline” figures from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Reuters has reported. The report said that the assessment was produced over the past two weeks as the US was building up its forces in the region and preparing to launch the war. The New York Times reported that the CIA had been tracking Khamenei for months and knew that he would be at his compound in Tehran meeting senior Iranian officials on Saturday morning, where he was hit by a joint US-Israeli strike.
