For more than three decades, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei stood at the centre of Iran's political and religious establishment, shaping the country's domestic policies and foreign relations through wars, sanctions, revolutions and regional conflicts. Now, months after his death during the Iran-Israel-US conflict, Iran is holding one of the largest and most elaborate state funerals in its modern history. Stretching over six days and spanning multiple holy cities across Iran and Iraq. Now these ceremonies are designed to be far more than a farewell to a leader.
We must understand, for Iran, Khamenei was more than just the head of the state, he was the religious figurehead for Shias around the world. So, the ceremonies are intended to project continuity, religious symbolism and national unity at a time when the Islamic Republic is navigating one of the most sensitive transitions since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. In these 6 days, Tehran has already projected that millions of mourners would line the streets.
Foreign dignitaries from across Asia, Africa and the Middle East are also attending, and most importantly the world's most closely watched funerals is unfolding under unprecedented security.
