TEHRAN, June 28 (Xinhua) — Iran held state funerals on Saturday for military commanders and nuclear scientists killed during the 12-day conflict with Israel.
The ceremony was attended by the families of those killed in the attacks, as well as senior Iranian officials and military commanders, including President Masoud Pezeshkian, Judiciary Chief Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and senior adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Shamkhani, who was seriously wounded in Israeli airstrikes on Tehran.
On June 13, Israel launched a series of massive airstrikes on various areas of Iran, including nuclear and military sites, killing several high-ranking commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians. Iran responded with several waves of missile and drone attacks on Israel.
After a 12-day war, a ceasefire was signed between Iran and Israel on June 24.
During the funeral ceremony, Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni noted that the United States and Israel have proven their inability to fulfill any of their commitments.
He stressed that the Iranian armed forces remain on high alert and are ready to give a decisive response to any “malicious actions” or breach of promises by the “enemy.”
Funeral ceremonies for the victims will take place on Sunday, June 29. –0–
