"According to Iranian sources that the a lot of people are in Karbala right now for the Ayatak funeral. the total number of attendees Iran and Iraq has exceeded 25 million according to Iranian sources."

Iranian sources report over 25 million people attended funeral processions in Karbala, Iraq for a high-ranking Ayatollah, with the body now en route to Mashad, Iran for burial. The massive turnout occurs as tensions escalate between U.S. and Iran, with Iranian officials stating "the era of bullying and extortion is over" while no immediate retaliation has been reported.
