Millions of Iranians have taken to the streets in Tehran and across the country to commemorate the 40th day since the martyrdom of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, top commanders and schoolchildren of Minab. 

The mourning procession began on Thursday morning, with participants marching from Jomhouri Square to the location where Ayatollah Khamenei was assassinated in terrorist US-Israeli strikes.

The ceremony, which will end at night, will see mourners chanting slogans, listening to eulogies in memory of the late Leader, and pledging their allegiance to his ideals.

Processions are also being held in hundreds of cities and counties across Iran.
