Iran is preparing for a massive three-day national funeral for former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The event is expected to attract around 20 million people across Tehran, Qom, and Mashhad. Khamenei died on February 28 following an attack by the US and Israel. Although Islamic tradition requires immediate burial, authorities delayed it due to the expected crowds. Recent reports from the IRNA agency suggest the ceremonies will likely take place in the third week of June, with major public events and four large processions planned in the capital and other cities. https://sambad.in/india-and-beyond/iran-prepares-for-ayatollah-khameneis-funeral-11902287 #creator program
