I don’t think people realise what we’re witnessing right now. Perhaps those behind their phone screens who are not in Tehran may never understand, but the atmosphere here is crazy.

People are coming to Tehran from all over the world; from Russia, Brazil, Norway, Germany, … to attend the farewell ceremony for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the martyred leader of Iran.

Many from Tehran have made their homes available to visitors and many are on the streets with their own money giving people services such as free tea, food, … many are volunteering.

Million, and I truly say MILLIONS are coming in and out the Prayer hall to pay their respects to the martyred leader.

The surrounding areas OUTSIDE the prayer hall were PACKED and filled with people this morning during the prayers, thankfully with no incidents.

A family member of mine is among the volunteers inside the prayer hall helping who’s been sleeping there since friday and has not left the area.

Many people (that I personally know as well) who never attended a public march, decided to attend this one for the love of their leader.

The magnitude of this event is beyond any words honestly.

— 🇮🇷 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.’
