‘Huge crowds have gathered leading up to Monday’s main procession.

— 🇮🇷 One person from this neighbourhood was interviewed:

‘To be honest, I was against the government. I still disagree with some aspects, but I used to engage in protests, and I have even set government property on fire.

I want to beg for forgiveness. I was completely wrong, our minds were corrupted by false promises of those who do not care about us. The war was an eye-opener; they used us and discarded us like cheap waste!

Martyr Khamenei is a thousand times more honorable than the dog Pahlavi or his American masters. I never saw a person more Iranian than him.

Today I’m here to honor him and please, forgive me dear sir, I wronged you. I was wrong. I don’t know what to do except cry. I’m sorry.’

— 🇮🇷 Live footage from Azadi Square in Tehran, filmed by the MES team

For your information, this is not even the square where the funeral procession is taking place.

The crowds are so insanely large that we were not able to reach the main area. It’s impossible to get closer.
