Four months after the death of Iran’s former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Islamic Republic has begun a week-long state funeral marked by large public ceremonies, heightened security and the attendance of international delegations. The ceremonies began in Tehran, where thousands of mourners gathered to pay their respects before the funeral procession continues to the holy cities of Qom, Najaf and Karbala, culminating in Khamenei’s burial in Mashhad at the Imam Reza shrine.
Iranian authorities have deployed extensive security measures, restricted airspace over key cities and declared public holidays as millions are expected to participate. Officials describe the funeral as a demonstration of national unity and resilience following the recent conflict with Israel and the United States, in which Khamenei was killed.
