Khamenei’s 40th Day Iran

TEHRAN - Millions of Iranians took to the streets across the country, including the capital Tehran, to mark the 40th day (Chehlum) since the martyrdom of former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, senior military commanders, and the schoolchildren of Minab.

The main procession commenced from Republic Square on Thursday morning, concluding at the site of the Supreme Leader's martyrdom.

President Masoud Pezeshkian joined the massive crowd in Tehran, interacting closely with citizens who captured the moment with selfies. Similar rallies were held in various provinces to honor the leaders who lost their lives on February 28 during the first wave of US and Israeli airstrikes.

Among those remembered were Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, Rear Admiral Ali Shamkhani, and Major General Mohammad Pakpour, who were martyred alongside the Supreme Leader.
