Former Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was laid to rest on Friday on the last of a marathon six days of funeral ceremonies, as two days of US and Iranian attacks raised fears of a return to all-out war.
The "body of the martyred leader of the Islamic Revolution was buried in the memorial hall of the shrine of Imam Reza," state broadcaster IRIB reported.
Khamenei's flag-covered coffin was carried aloft into the shrine of Imam Reza in his home city of Mashhad in eastern Iran as a sea of people waited outside and listened to prayers.
