Iran’s Final Farewell Begins: Full Schedule and Details
R. Hejazi | A major part of the international segment of the ceremonies was held yesterday. | The farewell, funeral procession, and burial ceremonies for the late leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution, along with four members of his family who were killed in the U.S. attack on Iran on February 28, have now entered their public phase. The multi-day ceremonies are set to begin in Tehran, continue in Qom and Iraq, and ultimately conclude with the burial ceremony in Mashhad. ■ Organizers have described the series of events as one of the largest public and international ceremonies in history — an occasion that, beyond its official and political dimensions, is also intended to highlight popular participation and the broad presence of ordinary citizens. The public turnout in Iran, they say, can also be viewed as a form of public endorsement and a reaffirmation of the country’s governing system. ■ Tehran has taken on a different atmosphere in the hours leading up to the official start of the ceremonies. According to reports, even before the official opening time of the Imam Khomeini Grand Mosalla, sections of the complex had already become packed with people, with groups gathering around the venue hours before the programs were scheduled to begin. [...] Public ceremonies in Tehran are scheduled to be held on the 4th and 5th of July at the Imam Khomeini Mosalla, where large numbers of citizens, public groups, and domestic and foreign guests are expected to attend. [...] Over the coming days, the event will not only be remembered as a state ceremony, but as a moment intended to reflect the bond between a leader and those gathering to bid farewell.
