The idea is that it had to be no longer in the war situation.
But the messaging that is coming out of the rallies today is really that war could restart.
It's a message of revenge.
The red flags, a religious symbol of revenge, the placards, the banners saying, you know, we do not forget or forgive.
And then a huge giant banner in Farsi that say kill Trump.
The participants are throwing stones at a giant portrait of Trump.
I mean, there is a sense that the war in some ways unfinished business.
I mean, it's coming from the regime, but it also comes from what looks like a very sincere feeling among the supporters of the supreme leader.
The question whether they represent the entire population, I was told by people in Tehran that actually a lot of inhabitants in Tehran actually left the city.
They didn't want to be part of the funeral.
They don't want to be there and show support for the regime.
So it's still a very divided population, I would say.
It does complicate matters.
If you have a position where you're not ready for concessions and there's also a lot of mistrust, you know, it does make the task of the negotiators much harder.
It was expected that it would not turn out.
I had heard that potentially they would release some videos at one stage of him, but it hasn't happened.
It's not surprising, even though it's obviously a question mark about how much he runs the country, how much he's even healthy enough to make decisions.
But the fact it didn't turn out is not surprising, considering the fear that there could still be strikes or attacks on the leadership.
It has been a clear message of solidarity for the closest friends, whether they're Hezbollah, the Houthis, of course, the Iraqi militia, and to a lesser degree, Hamas.
The statement was strongly committed to, quote, the cause of the axis of resistance.
