Iran has yet to finalize burial plans for former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a US-Israeli airstrike on February 28. Concerns over security and potential public unrest have led authorities to consider Mashhad, Khamenei's hometown, as a burial site. This decision marks a notable shift from the last state funeral for a supreme leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, in 1989, which saw millions of mourners in Tehran. Currently, no confirmed date for Khamenei's funeral has been announced, as the country grapples with ongoing airstrikes and a fragile truce between the US and Iran. In a related development, Mojtaba Khamenei, the newly appointed Supreme Leader and Khamenei's son, is recovering from severe injuries sustained in the same airstrike. While he remains out of public view, he is reportedly participating in decision-making remotely.
