“He didn’t even try to calm the people and totally ignored the protesters,” said one activist in Iran.
Leading the main weekly prayers in Tehran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called the downing a “bitter” tragedy. To avenge Soleimani’s death, last week Iran launched a barrage of missiles on an Iraqi base housing US troops. Hours later, it downed the Boeing 737. Khamenei last led Friday prayers at Tehran’s Mosalla mosque on the 33rd anniversary of the Islamic revolution in Feb 2012, at another time of crisis over the Iran nuclear issue.
“And it makes someone like myself, who is not close to the regime, seek change even more aggressively,” he added.
