CGTN Europe on Instagram: "The coffins of late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his family lay in state in Tehran on Friday, 3 July as preparations are underway for days of funeral rites following their deaths in the first U.S. and Israeli strikes of the war.⁣
⁣
Khamenei, who led for 36 years, was killed on February 28. His son, Mojtaba, succeeds him as Iran's third leader after being wounded in the same strike.⁣
Alongside Khamenei, the bodies of his daughter, son-in-law, granddaughter, and the new leader's wife will be carried. ⁣
⁣
Gholamali Haddadadel, Mojtaba's father-in-law, attended Friday's farewell. Ceremonies in Qom are scheduled for July 7.⁣
⁣
Events begin this weekend in Tehran, with next week's processions planned for Qom and Mashhad, and further ceremonies in Iraq.⁣
