Funeral ceremonies for the farewell of Eronda Ali Xominaiy have begun
The six-day mourning ceremonies of the Supreme Leader Ali Kham will be held in connection with the funeral of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
It was also announced that a delegation led by Nuriddin Ismailov, Speaker of the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis of Uzbekistan, will participate in the events. The ceremonies will begin on July 4.
The initial part of the mourning events will take place on July 4 at the "Musallo" complex in Tehran. On July 5, the funeral prayer will be recited, and a public mourning procession will be organized in the capital of Iran.
Events will be held in several cities. The farewell ceremonies will not be limited to Tehran alone.
They will also continue in other major cities of Iran. It has been noted that mourning events will be held in the cities of Tehran, Qom, and Mashhad.
In addition, separate ceremonies will be held in the Iraqi cities of Najaf and Karbala, which are considered sacred by Shiites. The final burial ceremony will take place in Mashhad.
The final ceremony related to the burial of Ali Khamenei's body will be held on July 9 in the city of Mashhad. Thus, the farewell and mourning events will last for six days.
Why was the initial ceremony postponed? According to the text, the former Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, died on February 28 during the initial strikes launched by the United States and Israel on Iranian territory.
Originally, the farewell ceremony was scheduled to begin on March 4 and last for three days. However, on the day the ceremony was supposed to be held, Iranian authorities announced its postponement.
This decision was explained by the exceptionally large number of people wishing to pay their respects. The Uzbek delegation will also participate.
Official delegations from various countries are expected to attend the six-day mourning events. On behalf of Uzbekistan, a delegation led by Nuriddin Ismailov, Speaker of the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis, will participate in the ceremonies.
