USA celebrates 250 years theme
Which American right-wing sympathizer will be the first to suggest that Iran chose this specific day for the funeral of its ayatollah in order to offer the American opposition's grassroots an alternative event?
USA celebrates 250 years. US President Donald Trump has promised "the most spectacular birthday party" as the USA marks 250 years. The Fourth of July is celebrated big every year in the US, but this year they plan to celebrate bigger than ever before.
The national holiday is very political, says US expert Jakob Stenberg: – If you follow the White House on social media, there are lots of videos and stories about US history where they weave in either Donald Trump or the values he stands for, says Stenberg. Watch the segment on SVT Nyheter.
Khamenei's funeral officially started. Thousands of people have made their way to the religious complex where the funeral ceremony for Iran's former top leader Ali Khamenei is set to take place, according to an AFP journalist. The main courtyard is filled with people, and people can be seen walking several kilometers to get to the location. People on site are shouting 'death to the USA' and 'revenge,' AFP reports.
The funeral of the ayatollah, who was killed in American-Israeli strikes during the Iran war, is set to last six days. See the report on SVT Nyheter and the report on SVT Rapport.
