Iran commenced a multi-day funeral on Saturday, July 4, 2026, for its late Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was 86 years old. Khamenei was killed in an airstrike earlier in the year, at the outset of the ongoing war. His casket was displayed in a glass case at the Grand Mosalla in Tehran, where thousands of mourners gathered, expressing their grief through chants of "Revenge! Revenge!" and chest-beating rituals. The public events are being closely observed for any indication of Khamenei's son, Mojtaba Khamenei, who was appointed Supreme Leader a week after his father's death but has not yet made a public appearance.
