The headquarters for the commemoration of Iran's martyred Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has announced a six-day funeral schedule spanning five cities, beginning with a two-day farewell ceremony in Tehran on July 4 and concluding with burial in Mashhad on July 9, Press TV reported.
The funeral will commence with a farewell ceremony at Tehran's Grand Imam Khomeini Mosalla on Saturday, July 4, and Sunday, July 5, according to the spokesperson for the commemoration headquarters.
The main funeral procession in Tehran is scheduled for Monday, July 6, during which the bodies of four additional martyrs—Dr. Mesbah-ol-Hoda Bagheri, Seyyedeh Boshra Hosseini Khamenei, Zahra Haddad Adel, and Zahra Mohammadi Golpaygani—will be escorted alongside the martyred Leader.
On Tuesday, July 7, funeral ceremonies will be held in the holy city of Qom, where prayers will be offered over the Leader's body.
The procession will then travel to Iraq on Wednesday, July 8, following repeated requests from Iraqi tribes, scholars, elites, and political and religious figures.
