Iran on Saturday began state funeral services for around 60 individuals, including senior military commanders, killed in its conflict with Israel, as Tehran’s top diplomat slammed Donald Trump’s remarks about Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei as “unacceptable.”
The proceedings in Tehran for the nuclear scientists and military commanders killed in Israeli strikes began at 8am local time.
“The ceremony to honour the martyrs has officially started,” state TV said, showing footage of people donning black clothes, waving Iranian flags and holding pictures of the slain military commanders.
Images showed coffins draped in Iranian flags and bearing portraits of the deceased commanders in uniform near Enghelab Square in central Tehran.
