At least 40 people have been killed following a stampede during the funeral procession for the Iranian general recently killed in an American airstrike.
The incident prompted the actual burial to be postponed.
General Qassem Soleimani was killed in a drone strike near Baghdad Airport on Friday. His death has sparked a massive backlash in his native Iran. The country has vowed revenge against American interests in the region and elsewhere in the aftermath of the killing.
