Tehran has issued warnings against attacks from the US and Israel as the country prepares for the funeral of slain leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Friday, 3 July.
Khamenei was killed in February earlier this year, in the joint US-Israeli strikes that triggered the Middle East war. His funeral was delayed for over four months, highly unusual for Islamic culture, due to the instability of the ongoing war.
Millions of people and a coterie of foreign dignitaries are expected to attend Saturday's official ceremony for Ali Khamenei, with Tehran's chief negotiator calling for a massive turnout to avenge his death.
