The massive funeral for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is continuing for another day or two. The crowd numbers are not reducing – The Iranians are not leaving the streets, the gathering points and the squares. Increasing judging from the footage is the very huge display of Red Flags of Revenge and what one cannot see, is the red wrist and other armbands. From Iran, we hear talk that this is not only an emotional reaction, but based on current reason and logic with the history of the recent wars and the overt assassinations and threats to current leadership, including Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei. Imam Mojtaba has not been seen and it is reported that the Iranian security services would not allow him to be in public because of the immense level of threat. It really is not hard to see the threats coming from Israel and the US and this is not a ‘secret reported by the Pakistani secret services’.

Countries as far as Mexico and Sri Lanka are holding public gatherings or gathering in Mosques. This is the biggest funeral in our human history and the biggest story that I know of. Numbers of reported attendees currently stand at +- 10 million, surprisingly reported in the US main stream media. Today, the funeral procession will continue in Qom, where around 10 million mourners are expected. It will then proceed to Iraq, where attendance is expected to surpass 13 million, before continuing to Mashhad, where another 10 to 12 million people are expected to participate. This does not include television or live streams.

So far, Tasnim, Al-Jazeera and Al-Mayadeen had investigative journalists on the job all all report that the funeral ceremony for Ayatollah Khamenei is officially the largest in recorded history.

An interesting but rough comparison: The current Fifa fútbal world cup has a baseline for a successful World Cup between 3 million and 3.6 million total spectators. This does not include television or live streams. I am not making this comparison as spectacle to spectacle because the mourning ceremony is sacred and deeply felt. Marwa Osman: “Please remember that you are not attending a party, a carnival, or a cultural festival. You are witnessing one of the most sacred and emotionally profound moments in the lives of millions.”

Quote Zakharova: “… the methodology of persuasion has changed”.

Last night, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, in response to terrorist attacks launched by the Kiev regime against civilian infrastructure on the territory of the Russian Federation, carried out a massive strike with long-range ground-, air-, sea-launched precision weapons and strike unmanned aerial vehicles, which hit enterprises of the military industry, fuel and power facilities in Kiev and Kiev region as well as infrastructure of military airfields in Dnepropetrovsk, Poltava, Cherkassy, Chernigov, and Kiev regions.

And more from the Russian MoD: Yes, the methodology of persuasion has changed materially:

On the night from 5 to 6 July 2026, the Kiev regime attempted to launch a massive attack on the territory of the Russian Federation by 625 long-range strike drones against facilities outside the special military operation zone. Six hundred thirteen aerial threats were shot down over the Russian regions.

▫️ The aim of the attack was to demonstrate to sponsors from European countries, including the UK, the readiness of Ukraine to hit civilian facilities in the Russian Federation from the territory of Ukraine on their money on the eve of the NATO summit in Ankara.

▫️ The main efforts of the enemy during the strike were focused on delivering damage to facilities and logistics sections of the civilian fuel and power infrastructure in the Russian regions including in Leningrad, Bryansk, Belgorod, Yaroslavl, Kaluga, and Kursk regions, and in the Republic of Crimea.

▫️ Thus, while repelling air raids, the Russian Armed Forces downed 147 UAVs over Bryansk region, 43 UAVs over Belgorod region, 48 UAVs over Leningrad region, 72 drones over Yaroslavl region, 64 UAVs over the Republic of Crimea, 31 drones over Kaluga region.

▫️ The anti-aircraft missile crews, mobile fire teams, fighter jets, and helicopters thwarted the massive attack planned by Zelensky to coincide with the NATO summit. The vast majority of Ukrainian drones were shot down or jammed. However, individual civilian facilities that have been damaged as a result of the attack will be recovered in the near future.

▫️In response to the terrorist attack of the Kiev regime, on the night of 6 July 2026, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation carried out a massive strike with long-range high-precision ground-, air-, sea-launched weapons, and strike drones against defence industry enterprises as well as fuel and power facilities supporting the AFU in Kiev and Kiev regions.

▫️ The pursuit of Western sponsors of the Kiev regime to increase supplies of unmanned aerial vehicles, missiles, and ammunition manufactured on the territory of European countries and Great Britain as well as to use Zelensky to deploy them against civilian facilities in Russia, will not go unnoticed and will be repelled by an adequate increase in the amount and might of counter-attacks launched by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine.

Dmitry Medvedev:

The US turned 250 years old. Are they a role model or an “evil empire”?

In my view, neither one nor the other. But here is what most countries on the planet agree on: America has no right to make decisions for others. Any state, whether small or huge, can sort out its own problems on its own. The US and the White House have no right whatsoever to impose their will on others. Let them sort out the mess in their own house first.
