Episode Details

Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and four family members were buried in a massive, emotionally charged funeral that drew millions to Tehran, symbolizing national unity and defiance amid economic turmoil and political tension. While the government projects a powerful image of mourning and religious leadership, many Iranians quietly resent the regime’s handling of recent protests and soaring inflation.
