Iran starts farewell for Ali Khamenei
On Saturday morning, the funeral ceremonies for Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei began in Tehran. The process will last for six days and include stops in Iraq before his burial in the city of Mashhad. Thousands of mourners gathered at Tehran's Grand Prayer Hall, carrying red flags, amid heightened security measures. During this period, Iran suspended talks with the United States in preparation for the funeral. Khamenei was killed in an Israeli attack on his residence in Tehran in February, according to Shia traditions, and was temporarily buried until a formal ceremony could be organized. U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the United States is granting Iran a "one-week holiday" to complete the funeral, while warning of the potential for a "miscalculation" during the events.
