25th Muharram Processions In Kashmir, India

The situation involving Iran, Israel, and the United States has intensified following recent military operations by the opposing sides. Iran's new Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, has pledged to avenge the death of his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was buried in the holy city of Mashhad. In a funeral message reported by Iranian state media, he stated intentions to seek revenge for his father's death. Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump warned Iran against any attempt to assassinate him after funeral ceremonies for Ali Khamenei featured numerous English-language banners with calls against Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
