DUBAI, June 13 (Reuters) – The funeral for Iran’s late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei will begin in Tehran on July 4 and \u200bconclude with his burial in his hometown, the northeastern holy city of Mashhad, \u200con July 9, state media reported on Saturday.<\/div>\n
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 \u200bof the Islamic Republic for 36 years.<\/div>\n
The funeral arrangements will include \u200bceremonies on July 7 in the holy city of \u2060Qom, south of Tehran, media said.<\/div>\n
Islamic law requires the deceased \u200bto be buried as soon as possible, and ideally within 24 \u200bhours of death, but exceptions are allowed, for example in time of war.<\/div>\n
During his rule, Khamenei built Iran into a powerful anti-U.S. force, spreading its military \u200bsway across the Middle East through proxy forces such as \u200bHezbollah in Lebanon, while using an iron fist to crush outbreaks of unrest \u200cat \u2060home.<\/div>\n
Khamenei remained a strong critic of the United States throughout his rule, while successive U.S. administrations tried unsuccessfully to resolve a dispute with Iran over its nuclear programme.<\/div>\n
The airstrike that killed \u200bhim pulverised his \u200bcentral Tehran compound. \u2060His 56-year-old son Mojtaba, who also lost his wife in the airstrike and was himself injured, \u200bsucceeded his father as Supreme Leader.<\/div>\n
Pakistan’s Prime Minister \u200bShehbaz Sharif \u2060said on Saturday that Iran and the United States had agreed on a framework for a peace deal after more than three months \u2060of \u200bwar and are expected to sign \u200bthe initial deal in the next 24 hours.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
