Iran’s president thanked citizens for turning out to mourn those killed in the 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran that ended with a US-brokered ceasefire.

“I sincerely thank you, dear people,” Masoud Pezeshkian wrote in a post on X Saturday.

He added that “serving such a free-spirited nation is the honor of my life.”

Hundreds of thousands of mourners gathered in Tehran today for the state funerals of top military officials, nuclear scientists, and civilians killed by Israeli attacks earlier this month.
