Foreign dignitaries and senior Iranian leaders honored Ayatollah Ali Khamenei today, months after he was killed by the United States and Israel. Iran says organizers expect 15 to 20 million people at his dayslong state funeral. NBC News' Richard Engel reports from Tehran.
The body of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei lay in state in a vast hall in Tehran on Friday as clerics, officials, foreign dignitaries and other mourners paid their respects to Iran's late Supreme Leader, killed in a U.S.-Israeli airstrike earlier this year.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed by U.S. and Israeli strikes in their first attack of the war and the funeral events will begin over the weekend in Tehran.
