Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been performing prayers at the funeral service of president Ebrahim Raisi.
Tens of thousands of people have gathered in Tehran for the funeral procession. Raisi, along with the foreign minister and other officials, died in a helicopter crash in northern Iran on Sunday. 63-year-old Raisi was widely expected to succeed Khamenei as supreme leader.
For more on this, we talk to Sara Bazoobandi who joins us from the Hamburg-based German Institute of Global and Area Studies.
