12-day conflict/ Iran organizes massive state funeral for slain soldiers

Hundreds of thousands of people attended a massive state funeral in Tehran on Saturday for the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and other top military commanders, as well as nuclear scientists killed during the recent 12-day conflict with Israel.

The coffins of IRGC General Hossein Salami, General Amir Ali Hajizadeh and others were carried through the city's Azadi Street. The coffins were draped in the Iranian flag with large portraits of the dead attached.

Both Salami and Hajizadeh were killed on the first day of the conflict on June 13, when Israel launched a war it claimed was aimed at destroying Iran's nuclear program.

State media reported that the state funerals were for 60 people, including four women and four children, and that more than 1 million people attended the procession, although the latter could not be independently verified. /CNA
