Ayatollah Ali Khamenei To Be Buried in Mashhad Amid Security Concerns

On Tuesday, the Fars News Agency reported that Iran is preparing to bury Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Mashhad at the Imam Reza shrine, his birthplace and Iran's second-largest city.
He was killed during a wave of US-Israeli attacks on Saturday, and reports say strikes also hit the Assembly's building in Qom.
Authorities are preparing funeral proceedings amid tight security, and the IRGC said a large farewell ceremony will be held in Tehran before the burial, with no date disclosed.
After Khamenei's death, power was entrusted to a three-man interim council until the Assembly of Experts elects a successor, and observers say the transition could be pivotal for Iran's internal stability.
US President Donald Trump announced Khamenei's death on Truth Social and the Iranian regime later confirmed it amid rising regional tensions after US-Israeli strikes, with Netanyahu earlier hinting at developments.
