On January 8, the funeral of the commander of the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards General Qassem Soleimani has ended in his hometown of Kerman in southeastern Iran.
The First Vice President of the Islamic Republic of Iran Yitzhak Jahangiri, a number of ministers and a delegation from the judiciary state participated in an unprecedented funeral of millions of mourners which took place on January 7 in the city of Kerman.
The funeral of both martyr Soleimani and martyr Brigadier General Hussein Borjafri was delayed due to the heavy crowd during the funeral ceremonies, which prevented the possibility of the burial until the crowd quietened down in order to prevent a repetition of the unfortunate stampede that took place earlier and killed a number of citizens during the funeral ceremony.
