Pass seven weeks of death. But still the last rites of the deceased former supreme leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (Ayatollah Ali Khamenei) have not been completed. A report in the US media ‘New York Post’ has claimed the same.

But even though it has been so long, why Khamenei could not be buried yet? Citing an Iranian government official, the New York Post reported that Khamenei’s funeral was hampered by security and logistical issues. In the current situation, the Iranian authorities consider organizing large-scale funerals to be quite risky. Because, if there is a gathering, Israel or America can attack there. In that case, there will be a risk of loss of life. “The current regime in Iran is so scared and weak that they are afraid to take risks,” said Behnam Taleblou, head of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

But significantly, when Ayatollah Ruhollah Khamenei’s funeral was held in 1989, millions gathered in Tehran. Everyone was grieving. But according to analysts, the situation is different this time. Along with the fear of Israeli attack, there are various problems inside the country. Because, a large part of the common people of Iran had continuously protested against this Khamenei. They wanted him dead. Therefore, organizing large gatherings may lead to protests.
