The incident occurred in Gen. Qassem Soleimani's hometown of Kerman, in southeastern Iran, according to Iran's state media. The report quoted the head of Iran's emergency medical services, Pirhossein Koulivand, according to the Associated Press.
Iran has promised retaliation on American interests in the Middle East after an airstrike Thursday at Baghdad International Airport killed the leader of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' elite Quds Force along with Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy commander of Iran-backed militias known as the Popular Mobilization Forces, and five other people.
A procession in Tehran on Monday drew over 1 million people in the Iranian capital for the man viewed as a national hero.

Didn’t the same thing happen during Ayatollah’s Khomeini’s funeral years ago?
They were literally fighting over his corpse, and pulled it out of the coffin as it was being carried!!
Medieval mentality ... this is why Iran should never be allowed to have nukes

During the Ayatollah Khomeini funeral, the animals opened the casket and rushed to kiss and touch the corpse.

Yup.
I thought of this verse from Jesus today:
Jesus answered, "Let the dead bury their own dead. You go and proclaim the Kingdom of God."

Some retaliation. At this rate, funerals for Iranian casualties will wipe out the entire population of Iran.
