Over a hundred international dignitaries, including heads of state and government officials, are anticipated to attend the seven-day funeral ceremonies for the late Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who passed away at the age of 86 following a joint US-Israeli air strike on February 28. The events will commence in Tehran on Friday and continue across various cities in Iran and Iraq until the burial ceremony in Mashhad on Friday. The initial burial was delayed due to the ongoing US-Israeli conflict with Iran. Foreign leaders will primarily attend the ceremony on Friday, followed by public ceremonies in Tehran on Saturday and Sunday. The coffin of Khamenei and some family members will be displayed at the Grand Mosalla for public viewing. Subsequent processions will proceed southwards towards Qom, while an official reception and public processions are scheduled in Najaf and Karbala, Iraq, midweek. The funeral proceedings are expected to surpass the scale of the 1989 funeral of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, attracting approximately ten million mourners, marking one of the largest public funerals in modern history. Iran's current supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, will not attend due to security concerns following Israel's recent threat to assassinate him. Iranian military commanders have warned the US and Israel against any attacks on Iran during the state funeral, citing harsh retaliation from Iran's armed forces should such threats materialize.
