Paying tribute to martyred leader
Iran has begun the first day of funeral ceremonies for martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, with foreign dignitaries and religious figures paying tribute in Tehran. The body of Ayatollah Khamenei, along with those of his martyred family members, was transferred to Tehran's Grand Mosalla. It was placed in the main prayer hall ahead of a two-day public farewell ceremony. According to Iran's foreign ministry, nearly 100 countries have sent official delegations or prominent figures to attend the funeral ceremonies. The ministry said the guests include at least eight presidents or prime ministers, parliamentary speakers from 12 countries, foreign ministers, and special envoys from numerous countries. Religious scholars and cultural figures from Indonesia and Afghanistan were among the first foreign guests to pay their respects. Representatives of Iran's recognized religious minorities also attended the ceremony. Ayatollah Khamenei and a number of his family members lost their lives in a US-Israeli strike on the opening day of the recent 40-day war.
