The funeral procession for Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi got underway this morning less than 48 hours after his helicopter plunged into a mountainside in the country's northwest on Sunday evening.

Thousands of mourners packed the streets of Tabriz this morning flanked by heavily armed guards as Iranian officials and dignitaries delivered speeches, played music and prayed for the fallen president.

A heaving crowd then parted to make way for a white truck carrying the coffins of Raisi and his foreign minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian along with seven others who perished in the crash.

The bed of the truck was wide open to display the coffins which were adorned with images of the dead and covered in flowers, and mourners were seen running alongside it to pay their respects.

Several extended their arms, frantically trying to touch the coffins of the dead, but were pushed away by stern-faced guards.

From Tabriz, Raisi's body will be flown to the Shiite clerical centre of Qom later today before being moved to Tehran during the evening.

Processions will be held in the capital on Wednesday morning before Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei leads prayers at a farewell ceremony.

Raisi's body will then be flown to his home city of Mashhad, in the northeast, where he will be buried on Thursday evening after funeral rites.

Khamenei yesterday declared the nation will observe five days of mourning from today following the fatal crash.

But the regime was said to be furious that many Iranians at home and abroad were celebrating Raisi's death as social media was flooded with footage of revellers evidently delighted at the news.

Raisi earned a reputation as a brutal, hardline executor of Khamenei's will during his presidential term, prior to which he was known as 'the Butcher of Tehran' for his role in ordering the executions of thousands of political prisoners.

The people in Iran seem to know something some folk here don't know. I would say most of them despise Raisi more that you guys do. And they are there and would know.

Just because I think Israel should be dissolved does not mean I think Iran's gov is great. I know you see the world only in terms of pro & anti- Israel, but I most certainly do not.

That would be a war crime. Collective punishment as you say.

That's no war crime. Israel can be dissolved without anyone dying or being harmed at all. It's no different than calling for a revolution or regime change.

It would be. Because you would be forcing everyone out of a government and a people out of a land. At least according to the terms you laid out the other day in my view.

Jews can stay put if they wish, though many as dual citizens can leave too.
