Iran Holds Funeral Procession for President Raisi, Foreign Minister

The Iranian authorities held a funeral service on Tuesday for the late President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian. Both men were killed in a helicopter crash in a mountainous part of the country's north-west region over the weekend. Iranian state broadcaster IRIB showed scores of mourners who gathered in Tabriz to pay their respects at the procession. Iran's government has blamed bad weather and dense fog for the accident.

ای شهدای راه خدا همیشه در قلب های ما زنده اید
ملحق به شهدای کربلا شدین 😢

[Masuma-dcvc]

Even he is dead, he might have died happily as he has avenged his brothers atleast ones... What the entire world of powerful muslims couldn’t do, he did. May Allah give Iran and Palestine peace, and grant this legendary man Jannatul Ferdous.... Muslims will always remember him atleast I will...

We don’t where we going don’t do bad stuff on the other

It sounded like some one came up with a somber sounding tune for a death march . Then they put a out of tune kazoo player in there and told him to make sure nothing matches.

I hope their government don’t blame America, for their own tragedy!
