His burial is scheduled for July 9 at the Imam Reza Shrine in Mashhad, one of the holiest sites in Shia Islam.
Khamenei was killed on February 28, 2026, with Iranian authorities confirming his death the following day on March 1.

Funeral processions for Khamenei will move through at least three major cities: Tehran, Qom, and Mashhad. Each procession is expected to last at least 24 hours, per Khamenei’s will.
Khamenei served as Supreme Leader for 37 years, having assumed the role in 1989 after Khomeini’s death.
