Iran’s late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was laid to rest at the Imam Reza shrine in Mashhad after six days of mourning ceremonies across Iran and Iraq. Thousands gathered for the burial, which followed his reported death in an Israeli strike during the Iran war with the US and Israel.
Huge crowds lined the streets of the holy city of Mashhad for the burial of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Khamenei was laid to rest at the shrine of Imam Reza, Iran's holiest Shia Muslim site, marking the end of six days of public mourning ceremonies across five cities in Iran and neighbouring Iraq.
The burial, reported by state news agency IRNA, came after an exchange of strikes between Iran and the US that threatened to derail a preliminary deal to end the war in which Khamenei was killed.
