Iran’s state media announces dates for the funeral processions and burial of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Multiple outlets report that a national funeral period starts on 4 July, with the beginning of ceremonies coinciding with the United States’ Independence Day. The overall programme includes three days of mourning events in Iran’s capital, Tehran, beginning 4 July. The schedule then moves to Qom, where additional funeral ceremonies are reported for 7 July. Khamenei’s burial is set for 9 July in his hometown of Mashhad, according to state television and other reports citing it. One account notes the burial was initially planned for March but was postponed due to the ongoing war. Another outlet describes Khamenei as having led Iran for decades after the death of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1989 and states he died aged 86. Several reports also mention the circumstances surrounding his death, but the published details on timing are consistent across sources: ceremonies in Tehran and Qom are followed by the Mashhad burial on 9 July.
