Iran Press/ Middle East: Since about two weeks ago, people from all walks of life and different nationalities have started their journey to Karbala in the 2023 Arbaeen March global event.
Iran Press News Agency shows live footage of the people observing mourning rituals in Karbala over the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (AS) from different cities of Iraq on Tuesday, one day before the largest gathering in the world.
