Iranian school strike families storm leader’s funeral, igniting fresh anti‑U.S.‑Israeli fury

Iranian school strike families join funeral procession

The Iranian school strike has become a rallying point for grief and anger across the nation. Parents who lost children in the blast marched alongside supporters of the late political leader, turning the funeral into a protest against what they call U.S.-Israeli aggression.

“We will not forget our children while the world turns a blind eye,” a bereaved mother said.

The death toll stands at ↑ 19 children, a figure cited by Reuters. In Tehran, demonstrations have surged ↑ 45% since the incident, according to local monitors. Authorities have imposed strict media restrictions, yet the narrative of “unjust war” spreads via social platforms. International observers warn the episode could inflame regional tensions, echoing past flashpoints. The funeral crowd, chanting slogans, underscored a growing distrust of Western policies in the Middle East.
