A stage has been erected in Tehran for the funeral ceremony of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, according to unverified reports from the scene seen by The Zioneer at 09:52 Tuesday. The development emerges as preparations for the event continue without an official date, following weeks of conflicting accounts from Iranian and regional sources.
On Monday at 13:37 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that journalist Roi Kays said preparations were ongoing without an officially announced date. Earlier that day, an unverified design for the funeral ceremony — attributed to a source affiliated with the 301 network and purportedly including family members eliminated in Operation Roaring Lion — was posted online. The design remains unverified. Initial reports on Monday at 13:37 Jerusalem, from state-linked sources, indicated Iranian authorities were preparing for over 35 million attendees, a figure that has not received official confirmation.
As The Zioneer reported on Monday, the funeral preparations follow extensive coverage of the leadership transition in Iran, with conflicting reports over the scale, timing, and details of the ceremony.
The specific nature of the stage, the ceremony's schedule, and the number of expected attendees remain unconfirmed by official Iranian sources. The Zioneer has not independently verified the reports from the scene.
