The smallest coffins are the hardest to carry. As millions gather in Tehran to begin days of emotional state funeral ceremonies for late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei—killed alongside several family members in the opening phase of the U.S.-Israeli strikes—the defining image of the memorial is deeply personal. Placed beside the large caskets at the Imam Khomeini Grand Mosalla was the small coffin of Khamenei's 14-month-old granddaughter, Zahra Mohammadi Golpayegani. Draped in the Iranian flag and surrounded by floral tributes, her image has become the most poignant symbol of the devastating human toll of the West Asia war.
