Reuters: Funeral of Iran's leader is a politically intense moment

Reuters wrote on Monday about the presence of millions of Iranians at the funeral ceremony: The funeral of Ayatollah Khamenei's body was more than a national farewell. The sea of mourners in Tehran sent a message to the United States and Israel that their efforts to break apart the Islamic Republic of Iran have failed. Rather than appearing weakened after the war, Iran demonstrated itself as resistant, united, and determined to shape the future. According to regional officials, diplomats, and analysts, this resistance and ability to survive now form the foundation of Iran's negotiation strategy.
