Iran will begin Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's state funeral on July 4, more than four months after his death in US-Israeli strikes. The delay has been linked to war, political transition and diplomatic developments. With ceremonies across Iran and Iraq, up to 20 million mourners are expected, while several Indian leaders have also been invited.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Funeral News: Preparations are in their final stages for the state funeral of Iran's former Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, with ceremonies set to begin on Friday, more than four months after his death. The unusually long gap between his killing and burial has raised questions, making the delay itself a major talking point ahead of the week-long farewell.
Khamenei, who led the Islamic Republic for nearly 37 years, was killed on February 28 during US-Israeli strikes on Tehran at the outset of the Middle East conflict. His funeral had initially been scheduled for March 4 but was postponed as hostilities intensified. Iranian authorities later indicated that the burial would take place in early Muharram, but that timeline also slipped.
