ZAThe body of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who died in an attack attributed to U.S.-Israeli forces, has arrived at Tehran's Grand Mosalla for his funeral. The event is expected to draw millions of Iranians and international dignitaries, including representatives from Pakistan, China, Afghanistan, and neighboring countries. Preparations for the funeral include decorating the venue with flowers and banners bearing Khamenei's image and quotes. The ceremonies will take place amid a fragile ceasefire between Iran and the U.S., following a preliminary agreement to halt the ongoing conflict. Public and private offices in Tehran will close during the mourning period, and traffic restrictions will be imposed.
