1:26Now PlayingHundreds of thousands attended a funeral procession for Iran's late supreme leader the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the city of Tehran.
Mourners chanted "Death to America" as Khamenei's casket and those of his family members made their way through the city streets.
The 86-year-old cleric was killed in U.S. and Israeli airstrikes in February. Many supporters vowed revenge, saying that America killed the "father of Iran."
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian was seen walking among the crowd and greeting mourners. Khamenei's casket will travel to the Iranian city of Qom and then to Iraq before the late leader is buried in his hometown of Mashhad.
The multiday funeral comes as diplomatic efforts continue to find a permanent end to the war.
