Mourners chanted "Death to America, Death to Israel" during the funeral service in Iraq's holy city of Najaf for a senior adviser in Iran's Revolutionary Guards who was killed in an Israeli air strike in Syria. The adviser, Sayyed Razi Mousavi, was responsible for coordinating the military alliance between Syria and Iran. The funeral in Najaf was attended by members of Iraq's Popular Mobilisation Forces, a heavily armed state paramilitary grouping that contains dozens of Iran-backed factions. Following the funeral, Mousavi's coffin will be flown to Iran for burial.
