There was a sea of mourners in Iran's capital where Iran's leaders joined massive crowds for the funeral procession of Qassem Soleimani assassinated by the US. There is no doubt about the fact that the killing was the most dramatic escalation yet in spiraling tensions between the US and Iran, which Iraqis fear could play out in their homeland.
There is also no doubt about the fact that the assassination of Soleimani has rattled the region. Television footages have shown tears, cries of vengeance in Tehran. Ayatollah Khamenei, who led Soleimani's funeral prayers, wept at one point. US President Donald Trump has clearly committed a Himalayan blunder. He seems to have set his country on the path of World War III.
