Iran invites Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to attend Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s state funeral, with multiple reports citing Iranian outreach to New Delhi. According to the accounts, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian personally extended the invitation to Modi. The funeral is scheduled to take place from July 5 to 9 across several locations in Iran, including Tehran, Qom and Mashhad. Reports also indicate that India has not publicly confirmed whether Modi will attend, with New Delhi yet to respond to the invitation. One source notes that Pakistan has already confirmed it will send a delegation, highlighting that attendance by regional representatives is planned. NDTV frames the invitation as part of renewed diplomatic engagement between Tehran and New Delhi, following an Israel-Iran ceasefire agreement. The reports do not indicate any official outcome from the Indian side or specific details of Modi’s prospective itinerary, but they converge on the key point that Iran has formally invited the Indian prime minister ahead of the multi-day state memorial events.
