Iran Postpones Funeral of Supreme Leader

Iran announced the postponement of the state funeral of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, which was scheduled for tonight in Tehran, due to the “expected unprecedented turnout” as the country faces Israeli-American strikes. The funeral was initially scheduled to be held in front of Khamenei's body, who was killed at the age of 86, and is expected to be buried in the holy city of Mashhad. The new date of the funeral will be announced later.
