Esmail Qaani’s comments came as the Iranian people flocked to Tehran for Soleimani’s funeral.

Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei prayed over the remains of Soleimani as hundreds of thousands of mourners gathered in Tehran for the second day of the general's funeral on Monday. All commemorative activities are being broadcast live on TV.
