A funeral ceremony was held in Tehran in connection with the funeral of senior Iranian political and military figures who died as a result of attacks by the United States and Israel. Ahmad Bahrani, a correspondent for Al Mayadeen TV channel, told Izvestia about the event on March 19.

On this day, the people of Iran gathered in the city center to send off Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran Ali Larijani, commander of the Basij militia Brigadier General Gholamreza Soleimani, as well as the Iranian servicemen who died aboard the frigate IRIS Dena.
