Tehran: A committee overseeing funeral arrangements announced Saturday the schedule of farewell and burial ceremonies for the late Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, and several of his family members.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, a statement from the Commemoration Committee for the Bloody Ascension of the Martyred Militant Imam revealed that public farewell ceremonies will be held on July 4-5 at Tehran's Imam Khomeini Grand Mosalla. These dates correspond to the 13th and 14th of Tir in the Persian calendar, or the 19th and 20th of the lunar month of Muharram.

A funeral procession is scheduled in Tehran on July 6, followed by a second procession on July 7 in the holy city of Qom, as detailed by the committee.

The final funeral ritual is set for July 9 in the holy city of Mashhad, aligning with the eve of the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Sajjad (AS), also known as Zayn al-Abidin, the fourth Shia imam and a great-grandson of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

The late leader will be interred at the holy shrine of Imam Reza (AS), the eighth Shia imam, in Mashhad.

The committee extended a general invitation to Iranian citizens, international followers of the Islamic school, and all interested individuals to attend the ceremonies.

Acknowledging the support of government bodies, civil society groups, and other institutions, the committee emphasized that the principal role in organizing the events remains with the people, who have remained active in mourning.

Praying for a 'magnificent and unique manifestation' of the upcoming event, the committee indicated that further details would be disclosed later.

Ayatollah Khamenei and several members of his household were martyred in a terrorist US-Israeli strike targeting his residence in Tehran on February 28, marking the first day of the joint aggression against Iran.
