TEHRAN — Eid al-Fitr prayers, marking the end of holy month of Ramadan, were held in Tehran after overnight air strikes on the capital. Simultaneously a funeral was also held for IRGC spokesman Ali Mohammad Naini, reportedly killed in a US-Israel strike, as their war on Iran enters its fourth week.
Large crowds gathered at the Imam Khomeini Grand Mosque at dawn. Due to limited space, many worshippers performed prayers in open areas. Footage aired on state television showed significant public participation despite fears of possible bombardment.
