A. Khamenei, who has held leadership since 1989, reportedly died following an Israeli air strike at his official residence in Tehran on February 28. Subsequent to this event, reports indicated that the United States and Israel conducted military actions against Iran for five weeks, culminating in an agreed-upon truce at the beginning of April.
Regarding the aftermath, Khamenei’s remains are scheduled to remain in Tehran until Monday. Following this period, the funeral rites are planned to take place in the holy city of Qom. The ceremony itself is scheduled for Thursday, with the final burial to occur in his hometown of Mashhad.
In parallel developments, the United States and Iran reportedly reached an agreement to halt hostilities and plan for resumed negotiations. As of this report, there is no confirmed information regarding the public appearance of Khamenei’s son, Mojtaba, since his appointment as successor. Furthermore, Iranian media sources have stated that the 56-year-old cleric does not plan to hold prayers.
Attendance at the ceremony was noted to include three high-ranking clerics.
