Iran President Pezeshkian invites PM Modi to attend former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's state funeral: Sources

Tehran , June 24 : Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the state funeral and burial ceremonies for Ali Khamenei, the former Supreme Leader of Iran, sources said. The official invitation marks a significant diplomatic engagement following the death of the 86-year-old leader, who was killed in a joint US-Israeli airstrike on February 28. Having headed the Islamic Republic for 36 years, Khamenei was killed on the first day of the military strikes directed against Tehran. According to Iranian state media, the multi-day funeral ceremonies are scheduled to begin on July 4. The rituals will include events in Qom, a holy city south of Tehran, on July 7 and will conclude with his final burial on July 9 in his hometown, the holy city of Mashhad in northeastern Iran. While Islamic jurisprudence typically dictates that a deceased person be buried as soon as possible, ideally within 24 hours, exceptions are permissible, particularly during a state of war. Speculation regarding the timeline of the final ceremonies had been mounting since February, with early reports suggesting a late June date before state media officially confirmed the July schedule. The state funeral is anticipated to draw close to 20 million mourners across Tehran, Mashhad, and Qom. A large number of foreign dignitaries, including Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, are expected to attend the ceremonies. If the projected turnout is met, it will break the record of 10 million attendees set during the 1989 funeral of the Islamic Republic's founder, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Following the event, the late leader's 56-year-old son, Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei, took charge as the Supreme Leader of Iran on March 8. However, widespread speculation continues to surround his current health and exact location, with prominent US officials, including Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth, stating that he is presently in a coma. The invite arrives amidst a cooling of geopolitical tensions. Following months of severe conflict that disrupted global energy lines and triggered a major fuel crisis, Iran and the United States have agreed to a peace framework. President Pezeshkian and US President Donald Trump have separately signed digital Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs), and structured, long-term peace negotiations are currently underway in Switzerland.

Administration, stakeholders working together for smooth Muharram : Div Com Kashmir

Srinagar, Jun 24 : Divisional Commissioner Kashmir, Anshul Garg, on Wednesday said elaborate arrangements have been put in place for the smooth and peaceful observance of the 8th Muharram across the valley, with multiple government agencies working in tandem to ensure public safety and order. Speaking to news agency Kashmir News Service (KNS) Garg said the administration has deployed district teams, health personnel and police along all procession routes, acting on directives from the Lieutenant Governor and the Chief Minister. Peaceful observance of Muharram has been a part of our culture for centuries and has been revived in the last few years. I thank the people for their cooperation and appeal to them to respect the permissions granted by the district administration, Garg said. He said the Muharram session this year is longer, spanning around 45-50 days, and detailed programmes have been finalised in consultation with various committees and stakeholders across all 10 districts where processions are being taken out. Our teams are available till evening and will remain deployed throughout the month. Quick response teams are also working on all procession routes, he added. The Divisional Commissioner also touched upon the convergence of the Muharram observances with the ongoing tourist season and the upcoming Shri Amarnath Yatra. He called for collective responsibility among the administration, media, voluntary organisations and citizens to ensure smooth traffic management and extend a warm welcome to pilgrims and tourists. I understand that our tourist season is going on simultaneously with Muharram, and the Amarnath Yatra is also starting. It is the responsibility of all of us as a collective unit to cooperate and follow the systems, Garg said. He urged people to adhere to advisories issued by the administration and maintain the spirit of cooperation that has been a hallmark of such observances over the years. On the Amarnath Yatra, Garg said arrangements have been augmented this year in anticipation of a higher number of devotees compared to last year, and all necessary facilities are in place barring the no-fly zone declared by the government for security reasons.
