TEHRAN, Iran (AP) \u2014 Iran began a procession Monday through its capital, Tehran, for the funeral of the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei<\/span>. <\/p>\n

Khamenei\u2019s flag-draped coffin, and those of his family killed Feb. 28 in an airstrike at the start of the war launched by Israel and the United States, will be carried on board a truck. <\/p>\n

They will be taken through the streets of Tehran on their way to Mehrabad International Airport. <\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s theocracy plans to see large crowds attend the ceremony across the city to show popular support for the government.<\/p>\n

Iranian state television reported the procession had started. <\/p>\n

Authorities have shut down streets, airspace and daily life for the mourning, which began Saturday and will end Thursday as the 86-year-old Khamenei is buried at the Imam Reza shrine in Mashhad, his birthplace. <\/p>\n

The U.S. is meanwhile pressing ahead with negotiations with Iran aimed at fully reopening the Strait of Hormuz<\/span>, rolling back its disputed nuclear program and reaching a permanent end to the war. Talks appear to be on hold until after the burial.<\/p>\n

As the funeral has gone on, however, there\u2019s increasingly been threats from mourners to avenge Khamenei\u2019s death. Mourners and the signs they carry have called for the killing of both U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. <\/p>\n

U.S. federal authorities have been tracking Iranian threats against Trump and other administration officials for years, stemming from Trump\u2019s ordering the 2020 killing of Gen. Qassem Soleimani<\/span>, who had led the elite Quds Force. Iran has repeatedly denied plotting to kill Trump, though hard-line propaganda footage long has suggested Trump was in Tehran\u2019s crosshairs<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Trump meanwhile promised to destroy Iran\u2019s civilization<\/span> during the war, among other threats.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday that we are here for the funeral for our leader, it\u2019s a very tough day,\u201d mourner Fatima Hassan said Monday morning. \u201cWe are not here to say goodbye to him, we are here for revenge. And we will take revenge.\u201d<\/p>\n
