Iran has postponed the funeral of former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

TEHRAN – The funeral of Iran’s former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been postponed until late June or early July. This is according to international media reports.

Tehran Mayor Ali Reza Zakani said that the official funeral ceremony is now expected to take place in late June or early July.

Reports further suggest that the cremation is likely to take place during the second ten days of Muharram, which falls between June 26 and July 5.

Earlier it was reported that the funeral will be held at the beginning of Muharram. However, the schedule has now been revised, pushing the event to a later date.

Earlier this year, Iran’s supreme leader for more than 30 years, Ali Khamenei, was killed at the age of 86 in massive US and Israeli airstrikes on Tehran.

The attacks were part of a broader military operation that, according to the United States Central Command (CENTCOM), targeted key Iranian military infrastructure.

CENTCOM released video footage of the bombing in action, though Reuters reported that it could not independently verify the time or location of the clips.
