On Sunday, July 5, 2026, marathon funeral ceremonies continued in Tehran for the slain Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. As the second day of mourning, prayers were offered over his casket at the Grand Mosalla complex, where the leader has been lying in state. To honor the deceased, the Iranian government declared Sunday a national public holiday. Following the massive gatherings on Saturday, July 4, 2026, which demonstrated loyalty to the Islamic Republic, the body is scheduled to leave the complex on Sunday evening for planned processions through the capital on Monday, July 6, 2026. These ceremonies occur amidst significant geopolitical tension following five weeks of intense hostilities in the West Asia war. Although a ceasefire and an initial accord with the United States have temporarily paused fighting, both Washington and Tehran remain prepared to resume conflict.
