Iran on June 28 held a large state funeral in Tehran for approximately 60 individuals—including high-ranking IRGC commanders like Generals Hossein Salami, Mohammad Bagheri, and Amir Ali Hajizadeh, alongside 14 nuclear scientists—who were killed during Israel’s 12-day air campaign, “Operation Rising Lion,” which began June 13 . Hundreds of thousands—possibly over a million—mourned across Azadi Street, chanting anti‑American and anti‑Israeli slogans . The funeral underscores the heavy toll inflicted: Iran reported over 600 deaths and 4,700+ injuries, while Israel stated 28 fatalities on its side . Tensions remain high despite a ceasefire, marking a solemn milestone in the escalating Iran‑Israel standoff. (PC: AP)
