SUMMARY

A state funeral in Tehran is honoring about 60 individuals, including military leaders killed in recent Israeli attacks. Thousands attended, dressed in black and holding portraits of the deceased Revolutionary Guard commanders. This event follows a 12-day war, where the U.S. joined Israel in targeting Iranian sites. Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, dismissed claims of significant damage to Iran's nuclear program.

Amid the ceremony, crowds chanted anti-American slogans. The funeral marked the first public ceremony since the ceasefire, with authorities closing offices to allow attendance. Despite discussions of nuclear negotiations, Iran denied plans to resume talks.
