Preparations are underway for the funeral of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, scheduled to begin July 4 in Tehran's Grand Mosallah and conclude July 9, according to Iranian reports. The multi-day event comes four months after his elimination.
New reports from Iranian sources describe preparations for the funeral of late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, scheduled to begin on July 4 at Tehran's Grand Mosallah and run through July 9. The event takes place four months after his killing in the opening strike of Operation Rising Lion.
As The Zioneer has reported, the funeral itinerary has evolved over recent weeks. The Tehran governor initially announced a farewell ceremony would begin Saturday morning, June 27, at 06:00 Jerusalem time. Since then, announcements have varied: Iranian media reported a ceremony in Qom on June 23, and Tehran Mayor Alireza Zakani stated ceremonies would take place in Iraq on July 8–9. The current reports consolidate the main events to July 4–9 in Tehran and Mashhad.
What remains unconfirmed: the specific schedule within that window, the exact burial details, and whether the earlier reported events in Qom and Iraq still form part of the official itinerary. The source is a single internal desk report, not yet corroborated by independent outlets.
