Iranian media report that the funeral ceremony for the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and several family members will take place in the city of Qom on Tuesday. The event is the latest addition to the funeral itinerary, which has been reported in the past week through various Iranian sources.
Iranian media reported Monday morning that the funeral ceremony for the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and several family members will be held in Qom on Tuesday. The report comes from a single channel circulating in Israeli media-monitoring circles and adds a new stop to the funeral itinerary previously announced by Iranian officials.
As The Zioneer has reported over the past ten days, the funeral schedule has undergone several revisions. Earlier reports indicated a July 4 start in Tehran and burial in Mashhad on July 9, with additional ceremonies planned in Iraq on July 8–9. Tehran officials had also announced a main ceremony in the capital, and a Qom governor had warned of extreme heat and planned an early-morning service.
The source of Monday's report is a single aggregated Telegram post and is not independently verified. It is not yet clear how the Qom ceremony fits into the previously published official schedule, which had not named Qom as a stop. The report has not been confirmed by additional Iranian state outlets.
