In Tehran, hundreds of thousands of Iranians rallied in support of the new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who succeeded his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was assassinated by U.S.-Israeli strikes on February 28. Iran says the war has killed more than 1,255 people and injured about 10,000. CCTV footage captured a U.S.-Israeli strike near a boys’ school on Sunday. According to Iranian state media, a boy, Mahyar Zanganeh, was killed in the strike. On Monday, mourners gathered in Tehran for the funerals for the victims of Israeli and U.S. strikes.

Mourner: “If a ceasefire happens, the blood of our martyrs is wasted. And in my view, a ceasefire means disrespect to all these martyrs. And honestly, it must be continued until the end.”
