A funeral ceremony was held in Tehran on Wednesday for top security official Ali Larijani and Basij forces chief Gholamreza Soleimani, who were killed in US-Israeli air strikes, The Caspian Post reports, citing Iranian media.

The ceremony took place as officials and mourners gathered to honour the two figures.

Larijani and Soleimani were among the highest-ranking officials killed since the outbreak of the US-Israeli war on Iran last month.
