DUBAI, June 13 (Reuters)

The funeral for Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei will begin in Tehran on July 4 and ​conclude with his burial in his hometown, the northeastern holy city of Mashhad, ‌on July 9, state media reported on Saturday.

Khamenei was killed on the first day of Israeli and U.S. airstrikes against Iran on February 28. The 86-year-old cleric had been at the helm ​of the Islamic Republic for 36 years.

The funeral arrangements will include ​ceremonies on July 7 in the holy city of ⁠Qom, south of Tehran, media said.

Islamic law requires the deceased ​to be buried as soon as possible, and ideally within 24 ​hours of death, but exceptions are allowed, for example in time of war.

问了一下 Gemini

伊朗最高领袖阿里·哈梅内伊（Ayatollah Ali Khamenei）于2026年2月在冲突中身亡。由于当时处于战时状态，官方不得不将国葬推迟数月。直到近日伊朗、美国及地区调解国在和平谈判草案上取得突破，安全局势好转，伊朗官方才正式宣布治丧行程。

追悼活动定于7月4日在首都德黑兰开始，随后遗体将被运往东北部什叶派圣城、哈梅内伊的故乡马什哈德（Mashhad），并于7月9日举行葬礼。

关于“7月4日”是否与美国独立日巧合：
这纯属时间巧合。治丧日期的选定完全基于以下两个内部因素：

外交与安全契机： 停火谈判草案达成后，官方才具备举办大规模公众集会的安全条件。

伊斯兰历法的宗教意义： 7月9日葬礼当天恰逢什叶派重要宗教纪念日——伊玛目萨贾德（Imam Sajjad）殉难周年的前夕，此安排旨在赋予国葬更高的宗教政治象征意义。
