Iran will hold funeral procedures for the country’s slain Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei between July 4 and July 9, Iranian state media reported on Saturday.
The program will include a farewell ceremony in the capital Tehran on July 4-5. Then, funeral ceremonies will be held in Tehran on July 6 and in Qom on July 7.
On July 9, Khamenei will be buried in the Imam Reza Shrine in the city of Mashhad following a funeral ceremony there on July 18.
Ali Khamenei was killed in US-Israeli strikes that began against Iran on Feb. 28. The attacks have also killed several senior Iranian military commanders and government officials.
A Pakistan-brokered ceasefire took effect on April 8, and efforts to reach a broader agreement have since continued.
