In Iran, the main preparations for the farewell, funeral and burial of the "martyr Imam" Ali Khamenei, who died from an American-Israeli missile strike on February 28, have been completed. This was reported today, June 2, by the Iranian Tasnim agency.

According to Tehran Vice Mayor Mohammad Amin Tavakolizadeh, three days of farewell ceremonies and a 24-hour funeral procession are planned in the capital. The venue is still being agreed and will be chosen between the Musalla (Large Prayer Hall) in Tehran and the mausoleum of the founder of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Khomeini. After that, the body of the deceased will be transferred to the holy city of Qom and then to Mashhad. It is there that he will be buried in

The burial place of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei will be the mausoleum of Imam Reza (one of the 12 imams-successors of the Prophet Mohammed, recognized by the Shiites-the twelve. — Approx. EADaily ).

The official explained that, given the geographical location of Mashhad, officials expect that a huge number of foreign pilgrims will be accommodated in the city, especially from Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Bangladesh and the Kashmir region.

Tavakolizadeh said that the Astan Quds Razavi Foundation and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Razavi Khorasan province have taken special measures to accommodate pilgrims and hold a burial ceremony.
