The farewell ceremony for former Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been postponed to allow for better preparation for the expected large turnout. The new date and time will be announced soon, with the event planned to span three days at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini Prayer Hall. Following Khamenei’s death, Iran’s Cabinet has declared a 40-day national mourning period, and his body is set to lie in state for public visitation. Conflicting reports suggest his burial may take place at the Imam Reza shrine in Mashhad.
