Iran readies funeral for former supreme leader Khamenei
Preparations are ongoing at the Mosalla Mosque, the main prayer site in Tehran, for the funeral ceremony of former Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a U.S.-Israeli strike on Feb. 28.
A large platform has been installed in the mosque courtyard to place Khamenei’s coffin and the coffins of other officials killed in the same attack, according to an Anadolu correspondent.
The area around the platform was surrounded by concrete blocks, with strict restrictions imposed on access to the site.
A cooling system was also installed in the mosque courtyard to reduce the impact of high temperatures on participants in the funeral ceremonies.
