His death marked a major turning point in the country&#8217;s modern history and triggered widespread reactions across the region and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Supreme Leader, Khamenei played a central role in shaping Iran\u2019s domestic policies and foreign relations. His leadership influenced key developments in the Middle East and positioned Iran as a major regional power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iranian authorities are preparing extensive security and logistical arrangements for the funeral processions, which are expected to attract millions of mourners from across the country and delegations from abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The announcement of the funeral schedule comes as Iran continues to navigate a sensitive political transition following the loss of its highest-ranking leader.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TEHRAN \u2013 Iran has announced the official funeral schedule for its late Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, with ceremonies set to begin in the capital, Tehran, on July 4 and conclude&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4810,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[57],"class_list":["post-4809","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world","tag-iran"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
