Iran is set to begin a six-day funeral ceremony for former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Tehran on Saturday, more than four months after his assassination. Officials have described it as the “greatest funeral of the century,” expecting between 12 and 20 million attendees. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Tehran-based Mohammad Rasulullah unit is overseeing the event, which includes extensive preparations such as thousands of service centers and accommodations for over a million visitors. Around 800 foreign journalists will cover the ceremony, and dignitaries from numerous countries, including Bangladesh’s parliament speaker Hafiz Uddin Ahmed, are attending.
The program will start at Imam Khomeini Mosalla in Tehran, move to Qom and later to Iraq’s Najaf and Karbala before Khamenei’s burial in his birthplace, Mashhad, at the Imam Reza shrine. Forty days of national mourning and memorial events are planned afterward. Analysts view the funeral as a demonstration of national unity and a symbolic step toward consolidating post-Khamenei leadership, particularly around his son Mojtaba. However, uncertainty remains over whether Khamenei’s sons will appear publicly and who will lead the funeral prayer.
