Very impressive. Who was the choreographer?
Once they’ve been trained, they need no signal to throw their version of the Nazi salute and shout the traditional slogans.
Iran’s supreme leader makes first public appearance since start of war with Israel

[IsraelTimes] Footage showed 86-year-old leader waving to chanting crowd gathered at a mosque in Tehran, but he did not deliver any public address

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini...>
on Saturday made his first public appearance since the 12-day war between Israel and Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
began last month, attending a mourning ceremony on the eve of Ashoura.

Khamenei’s absence during the war suggested that there was heavy security for the Iranian leader, who has the final say on all state matters.

State TV in Iran showed the 86-year-old leader waving and nodding to the chanting crowd, which rose to its feet as he entered and sat at a mosque next to his office and residence in the capital, Tehran.

There was no immediate report on any public statement made. Iranian officials such as the Parliament speaker were present. Such events are always held under heavy security.

Khamenei had reportedly sheltered in a bunker for the duration of the war, and after, for fear of being assassinated. He had instead issued pre-taped messages, and state television
... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?
had aired his pre-recorded remarks.

His last public appearance before the outbreak of war on June 13 was two days before that, when he met with members of parliament.

#1 Choreographer did not work for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.

Ashura frequently has self inflicted cuttings in deep Shia territory. I was hoping for that.

#2 With so many of the leadership dead anyone who is still alive is suspicious.
