A crowd of millions assembled on Monday for the funeral procession of Iran's assassinated supreme leader, Ali Khamenei.
The scale and depth of the march, however engineered, represents an extraordinary turnaround for a country that only seven months ago was gripped by street protests at which thousands of people were killed by government security forces. Many will say the assembly was a monument to a misconceived war launched on Iran by Donald Trump in February.
