Crowds of Iranians marched through the streets of Tehran on ​Monday in a funeral procession for slain leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the biggest day yet in a week of massive memorial ceremonies demonstrating the ‌grip of surviving clerical leaders. Drone footage on state television showed many tens of thousands of people crammed into a boulevard in central Tehran.The caskets of the slain leader and four of his family members were driven in a large truck through the streets, while fire hoses sprayed water from above to keep the marchers cool.As they passed under a bridge, mourners hurled stones at a billboard hung from above ​showing U.S. President Donald Trump with a bullet aimed at his head. "The U.S. killed our father," it read. "We won't let you go!" As demonstrators set fire ​to U.S. and British flags, women in black chadors held aloft red placards with the English words "KILL TRUMP" in black letters.
