Iran's state-run news agency announced on Saturday that funeral processions for the nation's former Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, are scheduled for July. This announcement comes amid reports from mediators that an agreement to conclude the ongoing war is nearing finalization.
The funeral, burial, and farewell ceremonies for Ayatollah Khamenei are set to occur between July 4 and 9. Iran's state-run television IRIB reported these specific dates.
Ayatollah Khamenei was killed in late February during the initial phase of a conflict launched by Israel and the United States against Iran. Following his death, a replacement for the supreme leader has since been appointed.
According to the South China Morning Post, the announcement of the funeral dates coincides with ongoing efforts to resolve the conflict.
