The claim
One user on Facebook claims that a video shows a funeral procession for Iran's late surpeme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The video has been watched over 90,000 times and was shared with the same claim on several other social media platforms (TikTok, X, Instagram).
Original review summary
DW found that the video shows the funeral of former Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Hashem Safieddine, not Khamenei’s. That funeral took place on February 23, 2025; as of the review’s Friday reference, Khamenei’s official funeral had not yet taken place.[S1]
