STORYLINE:
A funeral procession was held for top Hamas’ leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran on Thursday.
Iran’s supreme leader and representatives of Palestinian militias he backs prayed Thursday over the coffins of Ismail Haniyeh and his bodyguard who were killed in an assassination blamed on Israel that risked escalating into an all-out regional war.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei prayed over Haniyeh’s coffin at Tehran University while Iran’s new President Masoud Pezeshkian stood next to him.
State television later showed the coffins placed in a truck and moved on the street toward Azadi Square in Tehran and people throwing flowers at them.
After the funeral services in Tehran, Haniyeh’s remains are to be transferred to Qatar for burial Friday.
