TEHRAN: The funeral and burial of former Iranian Supreme Leader Seyyed Ali Khamenei has been announced.

According to a report by the Iranian News Agency, the funeral and burial of former Iranian Supreme Leader Seyyed Ali Khamenei, who was martyred as a result of US and Israeli attacks, will be held after Ashura Muharram.

Iranian officials say that the relevant headquarters will soon announce a detailed schedule and arrangements for the funeral and burial of former Supreme Leader Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

According to Iranian media, Seyyed Ali Khamenei was martyred in Tehran on February 28, 2026 as a result of US and Israeli attacks, while Iranian state media confirmed his martyrdom the next day.
