  "textContent": "The funeral for the slain Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei will be held in July, Iranian state media announced on Saturday, with ceremonies set to take place across several major cities before his final burial in Mashhad.\n\nAccording to reports, funeral rites will begin in Tehran on July 4, followed by additional ceremonies in the holy city of Qom on July 7. The final burial is scheduled to take place at Imam Reza's shrine in Mashhad, Khamenei’s hometown, on July 9.\n\nhttps://twitter.com/PressTV/status/2065751270107881629\n\nThe arrangements had initially been planned for March but were delayed amid the ongoing regional conflict involving the United States and Israel, state media said.\n\nhttps://twitter.com/Khamenei_m/status/2065763690490519843\n\nKhamenei, who led Iran since 1989 after the death of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, was reported to have been killed in a joint US-Israeli air strike on his compound in February.\n\nhttps://twitter.com/ChoukeirJ/status/2065748580569157927\n\nHe played a central role in shaping Iran’s post-revolution state, strengthening both its ideological foundations and its military and paramilitary institutions.\n\nFollowing his death, attention has shifted to his succession, with his son Mojtaba Khamenei remaining largely out of public view during the conflict. Some reports have suggested he may be taking on a more active behind-the-scenes role as Iran continues sensitive diplomatic engagements with the United States following a recent ceasefire.\n\nThe post Iran announces funeral schedule for late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei appeared first on HUM News English.",
