Mourners dressed in black gathered at mosques and public squares in India to pray, light candles, and remember Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as protests against the assassination of Iran’s supreme leader spread across several Indian cities last week.
Khamenei was killed on 28 February, aged 86, in airstrikes by Israel and the US that pulverised his central Tehran compound, as decades of efforts to resolve the dispute over Iran’s nuclear programme diplomatically failed.
