Iran bid farewell to its former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was killed on the first day of the Iranian war on February 28, as a result of American-Israeli attacks.

The funeral ceremony was postponed until a ceasefire was declared, before it began on July 4 in the capital, Tehran. The funeral ceremony continued for six days, during which Khamenei's body was transported from Tehran to the holy city of Qom for Shiites, and then to the cities of Karbala and Najaf in Iraq.

The body arrived at its final stop in the city of Mashhad, Khamenei's birthplace, where it was transported through the city's streets by truck.

His son Mojtaba Khamenei, who was declared a religious guide a week after his father's death, did not attend the ceremony. The funeral.

Iranians participating in the ceremony repeatedly chanted messages demanding revenge for Khamenei, while banners bearing the phrase “Kill Trump” caught attention during the funeral. In light of the continued anger of the Iranian street, mourners also expressed their support for the new guide, Mojtaba Khamenei.

Iranian state television announced that the funeral procession had been delayed due to the massive gatherings that exceeded expectations in Najaf and Karbala, which necessitated changing the date of the ceremony in Mashhad.

Khamenei’s body was transported in its final stop to the shrine of Imam Reza, amid crowds numbering hundreds of thousands of Iranians.
