About this track
The coffin of Ali Khamenei, Iran’s former supreme leader, killed by Israel in February, has been on a procession tour this week of holy sites in Iraq and Iran. Huge crowds gathered wherever it went, the coffin was passed over a sea of hands, and three of Khamenei’s sons wept over the coffin in Tehran.Meanwhile, the US and Iran have launched new strikes throughout the week. The peace between the US and Iran is fragile, at best. At worst, it could be over.We speak to Parham Ghobadi, from the BBC’s Persian Service.Producers: Cat Farnsworth and Aron KellerMix: Travis EvansDigital producer: Matt PintusSenior news editor: China CollinsPhoto: Burial of Iran's late Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in Mashhad.
