Mourners gather on Tehran streets ahead of Ayatollah Khamenei’s funeral as global envoys prepare to attend
Huge crowds of mourners gathered on the streets of Tehran ahead of the funeral ceremonies for the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, scheduled to take place from July 4 through July 9, CNN reported.
Large numbers of residents dressed in black assembled in the capital, waving Iranian flags and singing ceremonial hymns, while some held portraits of the late leader. The initial visual components of the casket holding the late Supreme Leader have emerged, depicting the coffin inside a room decorated with the country’s colours.
A sacred red flag featuring white lettering from the shrine of Imam Hussein has been draped over the casket. The historical flag serves as a “symbol of resistance, sacrifice, and unwavering devotion to truth,” according to the Iranian government.
