Millions Mourn as Slain Iranian Leader’s Body Returns to Karbala, Iraq — Cradle of Shia Islam

Max Blumenthal

About this episode

The Grayzone’s Wyatt Reed documents the arrival of the body of Iranian leader Sayyid Ali Khamenei to the Iraqi city of Karbala — the spiritual capital for over 200 million Shias — and explains why so many are drawing parallels between his killing at the hands of Trump and Netanyahu, and the slaying of the foundational figure of Shia Islam, Imam al-Hussein.
