Iran Postpones Funeral of Khamenei

Iran announced the postponement of the state funeral of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, which was scheduled for tonight in Tehran, due to the “expected unprecedented turnout” amid massive Israeli-American strikes. The farewell ceremony has been postponed and a new date will be announced later. Ali Khamenei was killed at the age of 86 in US-Israeli attacks over the weekend and is expected to be buried in the holy city of Mashhad.
