The funeral of Iran’s late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei will begin in Tehran on July 4, and he will be buried in his home town of Mashhad on July 9, according to state media.
The burial, initially scheduled for March but postponed as the US and Israeli war with Iran dragged on, will follow three days of funeral ceremonies in Tehran from July 4 and another in the holy city of Qom on July 7. Aljazeera reported.
