Months after his death at the outset of Iran’s war with the United States and Israel, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the nation’s supreme leader, will be honoured with a multi-day funeral and burial ceremony.
The extensive mourning period will see his body transported through cities in both Iran and neighbouring Iraq, in a spectacle that is likely to be promoted heavily by Iran’s theocracy to encourage public, governmental and paramilitary participation.
