The governor of Tehran announced Tuesday morning that the main portion of the Imam's funeral ceremony will be held in the capital. The funeral route has been determined and will be published soon, according to a statement from the governor's office carried by Arab desk sources.
Tehran's governor confirmed Tuesday morning that the main funeral ceremony for the late Imam will be held in the capital, further specifying funeral logistics as Iran prepares for a multi-day state event. The route for the procession has been set and will be announced shortly, the governor's office stated. This announcement follows earlier reports — as The Zioneer has previously reported — of conflicting schedules for the funeral of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, with some Iranian media setting burial in Mashhad for July 9 while other sources indicated earlier dates. The current statement from the Tehran governor appears to align with a major ceremony in the capital, but does not specify whether this replaces or precedes the previously reported July 4 commencement. No additional details on the timing or duration of the ceremony have been released by official sources.
