On 4 March 2026, a farewell ceremony for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is due to begin in Tehran. The مراسم is set to start at 10:00 pm local time at the Imam Khomeini Prayer Hall (Mosalla) in the capital. The plan was announced by Hojjatoleslam Mahmoudi, head of Iran’s Islamic Propagation Coordination Council. He said the farewell would run for three days to allow residents to pay their respects. Mahmoudi said the venue would remain open to visitors throughout the mourning period.
Details of the funeral procession are to be announced at a later date. Iranian state media have reported that Khamenei was killed on Saturday in U.S. and Israeli air strikes. Official statements said he was 86. No date or location for the burial was specified in the announcement.
