Ebrahim Raisi: Thousands on street in Tehran for Iran President's funeral procession

Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei led prayers for late president Ebrahim Raisi on Wednesday as huge crowds thronged the capital Tehran for his funeral procession. Flanked by top officials, Khamenei said prayers over the coffins of the eight dead from Sunday's helicopter crash, who also included foreign minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian. A sea of mourners filled the open space around Tehran university, where the prayers were held before the funeral procession moved on to Enghelab and Azadi squares.

Most people turn out because they fear their life, not by their willingness....

Thousands....?
How come when it's millions you call thousands when it's thousands, you call hundreds
Stop these invidious animosity and futile underestimation.
