'Extremely angry at the United States. Extremely angry at President Trump.' Huge crowds have gathered in Tehran to mourn the death of Qasem Soleimani, a top general and one of most powerful men in Iran, who was killed by a US strike in Baghdad last week.
Iranian media says millions of mourners turned out in Tehran for Soleimani's funeral procession
Reza Moghaddam, who was among those on Revolution Street, in front of Tehran University, said that the cross-section of Iranian society at the event was unprecedented. Just weeks before, thousands of anti-government protesters had taken to the streets to voice their frustration with Iran’s leaders, as well as the crippling economic sanctions imposed on the country by the Trump administration. But widespread reverence for Soleimani, who commands a cult-like status in the country, has seemingly united Iranians — even critics of the government.
