"The 40 Million Person Funeral The Media Ignored" - w/ Fmr. CIA Larry Johnson

What was said

"The funeral in Iran and Iraq is on track for a combined total number of 30 to 40 million people in attendance projected over the entire period. Iran is 15 million, Qom is 2 to 4 million, Iraq is 3 to 5 million. And Masahad is seven to ten million."

A podcast discussion reveals unprecedented funeral attendance figures for Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, with projections reaching 30-40 million people across Iran and Iraq combined over the entire mourning period. The speakers compare this to historic events like Pearl Harbor in terms of its unifying effect on Iranian society, suggesting it represents a major shift in regional dynamics that Western media has underreported. One speaker claims this is the largest mourning event in written history spanning thousands of years.
