Summary

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Iran began a six-day funeral procession on July 4 for former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, nearly four months after he was killed in U.S.-Israeli airstrikes at the start of the February war. Hundreds of thousands gathered at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini Grand Mosalla, where his body lay in state before planned processions through multiple cities. Authorities shut Iran down for Sunday and Monday to boost participation and projected millions of mourners before the rites end July 9. The funeral is expected to conclude with burial in Mashhad.
