Государственные Похороны Али #Хаменеи.
If the figures being reported are accurate, then Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s funeral could be the largest in recorded history.
The funeral of former Supreme Leader of Iran #Ayatollah #AliKhamenei can be considered one of the largest funerals—and mass gatherings—in human history. Official state estimates projected the total nationwide attendance to reach as high as 35+ million people, with up to 20 million mourners expected in Tehran alone.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed on February 28, 2026, in U.S.-Israeli airstrikes during the 2026 Iran war. 4 members of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s family were killed alongside him in joint U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on February 28, 2026 (the start of what was called Operation Epic Fury). 1. Daughter: Boshra Khamenei. 2. Granddaughter: Zahra Mohammadi Golpayegani (14-month-old infant). 3. Son-in-law: Mesbah Bagheri Kani. 4. Daughter-in-law: Zahra Haddad-Adel (wife of Mojtaba Khamenei).
His state funeral, delayed by the conflict, is a multi-day event (roughly July 3–9) with processions in Tehran (starting prominently on July 4 at the Imam Khomeini Grand Mosalla), Qom, Mashhad, and visits to Najaf/Karbala in Iraq.
Official delegations, envoys, and representatives from over 100 countries are present at the farewell ceremonies and state funeral for former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iranian officials, the IRGC, army commanders, and the new Supreme Leader #MojtabaKhamenei have vowed to “avenge the blood” of the martyrs, calling the U.S. and Israel “criminals.”
The United States, Israel, and the broader West face a severely elevated, long-term threat of symmetric and asymmetric retaliation following the February 28, 2026 assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his family members in joint U.S.-Israeli strikes ordered by President Donald Trump.
Iran’s Key Allies and Likelihood of Participation in Terrorist AttacksIran’s “Axis of Resistance” includes state and non-state actors tied by ideology, funding, training, and weapons (primarily via IRGC). Responses have included vows of revenge and some limited actions, but many groups are degraded from prior conflicts (e.g., vs. Israel).
