According to an official statement, farewell ceremonies will take place at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini Mosalla on July 4 and 5. A funeral procession is scheduled in Tehran on July 6, followed by another ceremony in the holy city of Qom on July 7.

The final funeral rites will be held in Mashhad on July 9, where Khamenei will be laid to rest at the revered Imam Reza Shrine.
