NYC vigil for Ali Khamenei turns violent as protestors clash

Pro-regime attendees of a vigil for Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, gathered in Washington Square Park in New York City on Friday evening, clashed with anti-regime protestors.

A group of New Yorkers gathered to mourn Ayatollah Khamenei, who died in a Feb. 28 strike as part of the U.S. and Israel’s joint attack on Iran, dubbed Operation Epic Fury. The group marketed the vigil as an event honoring “ALL MARTYRS OF AMERIKAN IMPERIALISM.”
