Millions of mourners have poured into Tehran for funeral ceremonies following Khamenei's assassination by the US and Israel on February 28. His son, Mojtaba Khamenei, was appointed in his place.

US President Donald Trump said that "neither side will shoot the other during the funeral proceedings" and added that talks with Iran would resume after the ceremonies.
