Inside Khamenei's funeral: Revealing moments from a week of mourning

Iran's late supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was laid to rest on 9 July after a week-long funeral procession following his assassination in a US-Israeli strike in February.

The 86-year-old leader, who ruled Iran for more than three decades, was succeeded by his 56-year-old son, Mojtaba Khamenei.

The funeral ceremonies, held across several cities in Iran and Iraq, drew millions of mourners, according to state figures.

Beyond the official displays of mourning, however, the events also revealed political messages and internal power dynamics.
