It is #FAKE that a video shows Ali Khamenei’s public wake; scene shows funeral of Hezbollah chief in 2025

Video does not show Ali Khamenei’s wake, which has not yet taken place g1 A publication is circulating on social media that shows a video of a funeral and says that it is the wake of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, supreme leader of Iran, who died on Saturday (28) after a bombing by the United States and Israel Forces. It’s #FAKE. fake seal g1 🔴 What does the post say? Published on Sunday (1st) on X, where it was viewed more than 29 thousand times, the post shares a video with men carrying a coffin along a public road, while a crowd follows the procession. A text box superimposed on the images says: “Khamenei’s death after US and Israel attack intensifies crisis in the Middle East.” The publication’s caption says: “May the devil welcome you with open arms.” Despite being true — and not a production of artificial intelligence, for example — the recording is out of context. In fact, it shows the farewell ceremony of Hassan Nasrallah, head of the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah, which is an ally of Iran. Killed by Israeli attacks in September 2024, Nasrallah was laid to rest in February 2025 (read more below). The content went viral amid the most recent direct attack by the United States and Israel against Iran, which began on Saturday. President Donald Trump declared that the main objective would be to destroy Iran’s nuclear program. According to the Iranian agency PressTV, the aitollah’s public wake was initially scheduled to take place this Wednesday (4), but was postponed “due to the projection of an unprecedented public”. Until the last update of this report, the date had not been defined. ⚠️ Why is this fake? To find the origin of the content, Fato ou Fake used the InVID tool and fragmented the video into several frames (static images). Then he did a reverse search for “photos” on Google Lens. This research serves to check whether the content had previously been reproduced by reliable sources – and in what context. The results showed videos of Nasrallah’s funeral procession, broadcast in real time by Al Jazeera and Sky News channels. The broadcast date is February 23, 2025. According to Al Jazeera, on the same date, organizers of the ceremony attributed the five-month gap between the death and the wake of the Hezbollah chief to a “security issue”.
