Iran postpones former supreme leader Ali Khamenei's state funeral to late June or early July

Tehran's mayor announced that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's state funeral, initially planned for early June, has been postponed until late June or early July. This delay allows for the completion of annual mourning rituals for Imam Hussein. The funeral, expected to draw 20 million attendees, was previously delayed due to the ongoing Middle East war.
