MESHHED, July 9. /TASS/. Iran’s late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was laid to rest in his home city of Meshhed, at the Imam Reza Holy Shrine, a TASS correspondent reported.
President Ebrahim Raisi, killed in a helicopter crash two years ago, was buried at the same mausoleum.
The route had to be changed at the very last moment, because the funeral cortege was unable to drive through the dense crowd, so a helicopter was used instead.
Khamenei was buried alongside his family members who were also killed as a result of US-Israeli bombings.
Journalists were not allowed to attend the burial.
