The farewell ceremony for Iran's former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, which was scheduled to be held at a mosque in Tehran, has been postponed. According to information released by Operative Information Center-OMM via the "Donya-e-Eqtesad" newspaper, the delay is primarily linked to logistical adjustments.
The report indicates that a final schedule regarding the ceremony will be announced to the public shortly. Official sources stated that the decision to postpone the event was made mainly due to security concerns and the need to ensure the safety of the large crowds expected to attend the proceedings in the capital.
The Supreme Leader of Iran holds the highest political and religious authority in the country, serving as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and overseeing the judicial and legislative branches. Such ceremonies in Tehran typically involve significant state protocol and high-level security measures, drawing thousands of mourners and international delegations. The postponement reflects the heightened sensitivity surrounding public gatherings of this scale in the current regional climate.
