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, pledges to avenge the death of his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was buried in the holy city of Mashhad. During the funeral, Iranian state media reports him vowing to seek revenge for his father's death. Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump warns Iran against any attempt to harm him after funeral ceremonies for Ali Khamenei feature numerous English-language banners calling for the deaths of Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
