Khamenei Buried in Mashhad After 37-Year Rule Ended by US-Israeli Strikes

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was laid to rest in Mashhad following a week-long series of funeral ceremonies. Khamenei, who had led Iran for nearly 37 years, died in airstrikes carried out by the United States and Israel. Massive crowds turned out for the funeral processions, effectively bringing normal life across the country to a halt. His eldest son led the burial prayers, though his designated successor was conspicuously absent from the ceremony. The burial took place against a backdrop of ongoing hostilities and escalating military exchanges involving Iran, the US, and Israel.
