Iran Holds a Weeklong State Funeral for Its Slain Supreme Leader
- Iran has begun days of state funeral ceremonies for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader who was killed in Israeli airstrikes in February at the start of the war with the United States and Israel.
- Officials say millions are expected to mourn across a weeklong procession that ends with his burial in Mashhad, and delegations from more than 100 countries — though not the Western nations that backed the campaign — are attending.
