Iranian authorities announced the funeral itinerary for the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, according to Israeli media-monitoring channels. The funeral is set to begin July 4 and will pass through multiple cities in Iran and Iraq before burial in Mashhad after five days.
Iranian authorities have published the official funeral schedule for the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was killed in late February, according to Israeli media-monitoring channels. The funeral is scheduled to begin on July 4 and will pass through multiple cities in Iran and Iraq over five days, culminating with burial in the holy city of Mashhad.
This announcement follows earlier reports about the funeral arrangements. As The Zioneer reported on June 13, the Iranian regime had previously published a schedule setting July 9 for the burial in Mashhad, with the four-day program beginning July 4 in Tehran. A subsequent report on June 17 cited Tehran Mayor Alireza Zakani stating that funeral ceremonies would also be held in Iraq on July 8-9.
The latest announcement provides a more detailed itinerary that includes multiple Iranian cities and Iraqi stops, though the specific cities were not listed in the current report. Iranian media had previously reported conflicting dates for earlier stages of the procession, with the July 9 burial date being the most consistent element across sources.
It remains unclear whether this represents an official government announcement or a report from regime-controlled media. The source of the current announcement was not specified.
