Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei led prayers at a memorial ceremony for late President Ebrahim Raisi and his entourage, who died in a helicopter crash. Khamenei payed tribute to Raisi at the University of Tehran before crowds of tens of thousands, who proceeded to walk from the Revolution Square to to Freedom Square. The caskets of Raisi, and the seven others who died in the crash on May 19, including Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, were draped in Iranian flags with their pictures on them. Raisi’s body will be taken to his hometown of Mashhad in the country’s northeast, where he will be buried after funeral rites at the Imam Reza Shrine. The remains of others who were killed in the crash will also be sent to their hometowns to be buried.
