Hebrew media acknowledge the grandeur of the funeral of martyred Leader of Revolution
Pars Today – The Zionist regime Hebrew-language media outlets, which have often presented conflicting narratives about the Islamic Republic's popular support, have acknowledged the massive turnout and huge crowds of mourners filling the streets of Tehran in their coverage of the funeral procession for Iran's martyred leader.
According to Pars Today, citing IRNA, the funeral procession for Iran's martyred leader became one of the main focuses of Hebrew-language media coverage from the early hours of Monday morning. Through live reports and extensive analysis, these outlets highlighted the large crowds in Tehran's streets while examining the political, security and regional dimensions of the event.
Yedioth Ahronoth reported that thousands of people gathered in Tehran's Enghelab Square from the early morning hours to take part in the funeral procession for Iran's martyred leader. The newspaper noted that major streets and Tehran's airspace had been closed, emphasizing that large crowds carrying flags and chanting slogans calling for vengeance and retribution participated in the procession.
The Zionist regime's Channel 13 television network also focused on calls for vengeance among the mourners, reporting that the ceremony was drawing a massive public turnout and that many participants were carrying flags associated with calls for retribution, as well as banners bearing various slogans. The network highlighted these slogans and messages as one of the main aspects of its coverage.
Meanwhile, Walla News, which is closely followed by the Zionist regime's security establishment, published a report asserting that Iran is seeking to strengthen its power in the post-war period. The outlet argued that the funeral was more than a mourning ceremony, describing it as a strategic event carrying messages extending beyond Iran's borders to regional actors and Israel's security institutions.
The report added that Israel's military and security agencies are closely monitoring developments in Tehran, viewing the ceremony as a signal of strengthened post-war deterrence and the consolidation of the country's new leadership.
In its analysis, Maariv described the funeral as a sign that Iran has entered a new post-war phase, writing that Tehran's strategy extends beyond political statements and is accompanied by practical measures and public displays of power.
The Jerusalem Post, reporting on the third day of the ceremonies, said that the large presence of mourners carrying red flags and symbols associated with calls for vengeance was among the event's most notable features. It added that images from Tehran illustrated the unprecedented scale of the gathering.
Haaretz focused on the social dimension of the ceremony, reporting that the widespread public turnout from the early morning hours had made the funeral one of the region's most significant news events.
Some Hebrew-language media outlets also noted that, for the Islamic Republic, the ceremony represented not only a farewell to its leader but also an opportunity to demonstrate national unity and rebuild the country's domestic and international image in the aftermath of the war.
