IRAN – Crowds of Iranians marched through the streets of Tehran on Monday in a funeral ​procession for slain leader Ayatollah Ali khamenei, the biggest day yet in a week of massive memorial ceremonies.

Drone footage showed many tens of thousands of people crammed into a boulevard in Central Tehran.

The caskets of the slain leader and four of his family members were driven in a large truck through the streets, while fire hoses sprayed water from above to keep the marchers cool.

As they ​passed under a bridge, mourners hurled stones at a billboard hung from above showing U.S. President Donald Trump with a ​bullet aimed at his head.

As demonstrators set fire ⁠to U.S. and British flags, women in black chadors held aloft red placards with the English words “Kill Trump” in black letters.
