Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and senior civilian and military officials attended the ceremony in the capital. Iranian leader Ali Khamenei led the funeral prayer at Tehran University campus.
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WAITED AT THE DOOR
Thousands of people waited at the university gate to enter the prayer area, where a limited number of people were allowed. After the prayer, a large crowd gathered in İnkılap Square next to the university and on the roads leading to the area.
WILL BE SENT TO DOHA
Following the ceremony in Tehran, Ismail Haniyeh will be sent on his final journey tomorrow in Doha, the capital of Qatar.
HE HELD THE USA RESPONSIBLE
Speaking before the funeral prayer, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf claimed that the assassination of Haniyeh was carried out with US coordination.
Praising Haniyeh’s struggle for Palestine, Qalibaf said, “We know that this attack was carried out with the support and coordination of the United States. It is our duty to respond to this murder at the right time and place.”
