Thousands of mourners gathered in Tehran on Saturday as Iran began a days-long funeral for slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, with crowds chanting 'Death to America' and 'Death to Israel' while calling for revenge over the leader's killing.

Iranian authorities expect millions to join the ceremonies, which will continue across Iran and Iraq, as the country mourns the leader who was killed in an Israeli airstrike at the start of the war earlier this year.
