A seven-day state funeral will commence on July 3, marking the passing of Iran's late Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The ceremonies, which were postponed due to ongoing US-Israeli conflict, will span several cities in Iran and Iraq, culminating in his burial at the shrine of Imam Reza in Mashhad on July 9. The funeral processions will commence in Tehran, featuring global leaders, senior officials, religious figures, and scholars paying their respects. Public ceremonies will take place in Tehran from July 4-5, followed by a move through other parts of the city and Qom, Iran's foremost center of Shia Islamic scholarship. The coffin will then travel to Najaf and Karbala in Iraq, significant holy cities for Shias, before returning to Iran for the final burial ceremony. This funeral marks the first major state event under Khamenei's successor and son, Mojtaba Khamenei, who has been out of public view since the US-Israel war began four months ago. The burial near Imam Reza, one of Shia Islam's most revered figures, signifies a great honor for Khamenei, reflecting his dual role as Iran's supreme political leader and highest religious authority.
