More than four months after the US military carried out a massive strike on the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei’s residence, the official website of the slain leader and the country’s state TV on Wednesday aired video purportedly showing a mosque in his residence compound.

However, the state TV did not elaborate the details of the compound ruined in the attack

On February 28, Khameni was killed in an airstrike jointly launched by the US and Israeli forces. Iranian Defence Minister Amir Nasirzadeh and Revolutionary Guards commander Mohammed Pakpour were among those killed in the attacks. Khamenei's daughter, grandchild, son-in-law and daughter-in-law were also killed.

The conflict, which raged for several weeks before the sides reached a shaky ceasefire, has caused death and destruction across the region and left Iran's theocratic government, backed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, in power.

Mass funeral of senior Iranin leader underway

In a show of public devotion to the state and revolutionary zeal, the Islamic Republic is staging a week of mass funeral processions for Khamenei, including taking his remains to Shi'ite religious sites in neighbouring Iraq.

After a day lying in state indoors for senior Iranian leaders and foreign officials to visit, Khamenei's coffin was displayed outdoors on Saturday under glass, along with those of his daughter, son-in-law, daughter-in-law and 14-month-old granddaughter.

On Sunday, tens of thousands more mourners, including soldiers, seminary students and ordinary men and women, filed into the Mosalla to pay their respects to Khamenei and his family, waving flags emblazoned with promises of revenge against America and Israel.

Others prayed in unison at the complex named after Iran's first supreme leader, Khomeini, whom Khamenei succeeded in 1989.
