Turnout in Ayatollah Khamenei’s Funeral Extraordinary: Canadian Lawyer
Speaking to PressTV after attending the funeral ceremonies in Tehran, Lascaris said the number of mourners gathered at the Mosalla over two days was "quite impressive."
He said the public displayed two dominant emotions: profound grief over the killing of Ayatollah Khamenei and his family members, and a deep sense of anger that was expressed peacefully and with restraint.
Lascaris also noted that messages written by mourners on the walls of the Mosalla reflected a broad range of ideological perspectives, including religious beliefs, anti-imperialist views, and even messages in French.
According to him, this demonstrated that the resistance led by the martyred leader had inspired people from different countries and diverse political backgrounds.
The Canadian commentator further argued that Iran had long been the target of a campaign of "lawfare," saying international legal mechanisms, particularly at the United Nations Security Council, had been used to contain, weaken, and destabilize the country.
Despite those efforts, Lascaris said he believes the recent war has strengthened Iran's position. "As a result of this war of aggression, Iran has emerged more powerful than before," he said, adding that countries previously reluctant to engage with Iran would now be compelled to do so.
