Iran’s former supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a joint US-Israel strike on Saturday, will be buried in the holy city of Mashhad, Iranian media reported on Tuesday, as tensions continue to escalate across the Middle East following the high-profile assassination.

The Fars news agency said Khamenei, who died at the age of 86 after leading the Islamic Republic for 36 years, will be laid to rest in Mashhad, Iran’s second-largest city and his birthplace. His father is buried at the Imam Reza shrine in the city. No date for the burial has been announced.
