NOThe remains of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei arrived at the Mosalla Mosque in Tehran ahead of his funeral ceremony. The state news agency Irna reported that the casket, draped in Iran's flag, was carried by mourners into the mosque, where large crowds gathered in black clothing. The airspace over Tehran has been partially closed since Friday and will be fully closed on Monday while the casket remains in the mosque for three days. The official ceremony is scheduled for Saturday, with guests expected from around 30 countries. Pakistan, acting as a mediator between the U.S. and Iran, will be represented by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. After the ceremonies in Tehran, Khamenei's remains will be transported to the Islamic holy sites of Najaf and Karbala in Iraq before being buried on July 9 in Mashhad, where he was born. It is unclear whether his son and successor, Mojtaba, who has not publicly appeared since being appointed as Iran's new leader, will attend the ceremony in Tehran. Khamenei was killed in an Israeli-American attack on February 28, marking the first day of the Iran-Israel war, and had served as Iran's supreme leader since 1989.
