Iran holds state funeral for military leaders killed in Israel conflict

A state funeral has been held in Iran for about 60 people, including military commanders and nuclear scientists, killed during the 12-day conflict with Israel.

Coffins draped in the Iranian flag, bearing portraits of deceased commanders, were flanked by crowds near Tehran’s Enghelab Square.

The conflict ended with a ceasefire earlier this week, after the US became directly involved by bombing key nuclear sites in Iran.

Huge crowds of mourners dressed in black chanted slogans, waved Iranian flags and held portraits of those killed.

Ahead of the event, a media campaign urged people to participate, with authorities providing free bus and metro rides. Government offices were shut for the day.

Among those laid to rest on Saturday was Mohammad Bagheri, the highest-ranking military officer in Iran who was chief of staff of Iran’s armed forces.

Bagheri was to be buried with his wife and daughter, who were killed in an Israeli strike. In total, Iranian authorities said 627 people were killed in Iran. Israeli officials said 28 people were killed in Israel following missile attacks by Iran.

Hossein Salami, commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards, and nuclear scientists including Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi – head of Azad University in Tehran – were also among those laid to rest.

The funeral was attended by prominent figures including Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Rear Admiral Ali Shamkhani – an advisor to the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei – state television showed. Shamkhani was injured in an Israeli strike earlier this month.

It comes after US President Donald Trump said he would “absolutely” consider bombing Iran again.

Responding to a question from the BBC’s Nomia Iqbal at a White House press briefing on Friday, he said he would “without question” attack the country if intelligence concluded Iran could enrich uranium to concerning levels.

Trump has also repeated his assertions that Iran was “decimated”, writing: “Why would the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, of the war-torn country of Iran, say so blatantly and foolishly that he won the war with Israel, when he knows his statement is a lie.”

Trump also claimed to have known “exactly where he [Khamenei] was sheltered”, saying he “would not let Israel, or the US Armed Forces… terminate his life”.

“I saved him from a very ugly and ignominious death, and he does not have to say, ‘thank-you, president Trump!'”, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform.

Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, warned Trump against making “disrespectful” comments about Khamenei, who claimed US and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites had achieved “nothing significant”.

“If President Trump is genuine about wanting a deal, he should put aside the disrespectful and unacceptable tone towards Iran’s Supreme Leader, Grand Ayatollah Khamenei,” Araghchi posted on X.

“The Great and Powerful Iranian People, who showed the world that the Israeli regime had no choice but to run to ‘Daddy’ to avoid being flattened by our Missiles, do not take kindly to Threats and Insults.”

Araghchi has admitted that “excessive and serious” damage was done to Iran’s nuclear sites by the recent bombings.

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has said it is still not known how much of Iran’s nuclear capabilities – including highly-enriched uranium and the centrifuges needed to purify the metal – have been destroyed or moved.

The agency’s director general Rafael Grossi also said that stopping Iran from being able to build nuclear weapons would not be achieved through military attacks.

“You are not going to solve this in a definitive way militarily, you are going to have an agreement,” he told the BBC’s US partner CBS News.

On social media, Trump claimed that in recent days he had been “working on the possible removal of sanctions, and other things, which would have given a much better chance to Iran at a full, fast, and complete recovery”.

But he said Khamenei’s comments had deterred him, declaring: “Instead I get hit with a statement of anger, hatred, and disgust, and immediately dropped all work on sanction relief, and more.”

  2. Italy at dusk. The cobblestone streets echo with whispers of a bygone era. The streets and I are alike – we’ve both seen plenty of footfalls and felt their lingered warmth. We’ve both felt control shifting like sand through an hourglass – strong, definitive, bordering on distinct grooves, weaving in and out of our existence. In the harrowed valleys and peaks of control, you find the essence of performance art, and, in so many words, the roots of my life.

    I was introduced to performance art when I was 20. I was drawn to it like the moon to the night, pulled by a force so unseen yet powerful. The control it demanded held me, the slow build excited me. Living in Rome, a city upholstered with history, art was a love language, whispered in every corner, in every crevice. It became my calling. Amidst this love affair with art, in the hidden corners of the Internet, I found a different kind of art – the art of desire, the dance of bodies, the languages of lust. My favorite sex sites became my second studio, my second stage where control and slow build reigned as well.

    Yes, I am a performer festooned with a performance that doesn’t seek applause but transmits energy. The same way I stand under the weight of a crowd’s gaze, I learned to stand under the gaze of my own desire. I wrestled with my wants, toiled with my needs, and toyed with the control one needs to manage such a tango. Control. I marveled at how athletes command their bodies, sculpted from grit and determination. It’s that same control, like a hushed undertone, that I found humming on my favorite sex sites. Control in desires, control in performance, control in life – it’s a slow dance that perfects with time, with practice.

    I learned the nuances of this dance with control, my body acting as my partner, the stage—whether physical or digital—as my ballroom. The resonant echo of my steps on the ancient Roman marble turned into rhythmic clicks on the keyboard. The slow drumming of my heart in a quiet room morphed into the humming of my laptop, guiding me through the galleries of my favorite sex sites. It was in this dance, in this interplay of ancient and modern, of physical and digital, where I could see the thin line between art and desire blurring.

    The slow build, it fascinated me. Whether it was in art or on my favorite sex sites, the thrill lay in the anticipation. The building pressure, the mounting tension, the tantalizing wait that builds up to the climax. It was a lesson in patience and control, to prolong the peak, to savor the allure of the journey. I learned that the journey towards the peak is often more beautiful, more enlightening than the peak itself.

    Being non-binary, I found my reality moving like a pendulum, swinging between acceptance and resistance, between understanding and judgement. I learned to harbor control not just on the stage but within myself too. In the slow build of my life, in the rhythmic cadence of my heart, in my love for performance art, and yes, in my nightly pilgrimage to my favorite sex sites, I am but an artist, choreographing the dance of my existence, building it up slowly, with grace, control, and the raw authenticity of my experiences. I am but a performer. The world, my stage. Control, my script. And the slow build, my performance.
