Iran has announced plans for a six-day funeral for the recently deceased Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The event will be held in Mashhad, according to news reports [5]. Mourners have already begun flooding into Tehran for a procession as part of the funeral arrangements [1], with black-clad mourners expected to attend [2].
The funeral is set to last nearly four months after Khamenei's death. The event will include ceremonies in Iran and Iraq, indicating the significant influence he had on both countries [4]. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly been invited to attend the memorial service for late Senator Lindsey Graham, which also involves tensions with President Trump [3], though this does not directly relate to Khamenei's funeral.
The sources do not provide specific details about the exact route of the procession or any other logistical information. However, they all agree that a significant number of mourners are expected and that the event will be marked by national mourning in Iran.
