Tens of thousands of people have lined the streets in Iran’s capital, Tehran, as the country held a funeral service for military commanders, nuclear scientists and some civilians killed in Israeli attacks earlier this month. State TV showed footage of people donning black clothes, waving Iranian flags and holding pictures of some of the dead in the ceremony that started at 8am (04:30 GMT) on Saturday.
Al Jazeera’s correspondent Tohid Asadi reports. Meanwhile, Fateme Karimkhan,, an Iranian journalist, joins live from Tehran.
