Funeral prayer held for the martyred Leader at Tehran's Mosalla

On Sunday, July 5, 2026, the funeral prayer for the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei, and the martyred members of his family was held at Tehran's Imam Khomeini Mosalla. The ceremony began at 6:00 a.m. local time, with the funeral prayer scheduled for approximately 8:00 a.m. Among those present were the sons of the martyred Leader, as well as the heads of the three branches of government, who arrived ahead of the prayer to pay their respects.

The funeral prayer was led by Grand Ayatollah Jafar Subhani, with tens of thousands of mourners in attendance.

Funeral prayers were also offered for Martyr Zahra Mohammadi Golpayegani — the 14-month-old granddaughter of the martyred Leader — as well as for other martyred family members: Martyr Dr. Misbah al-Huda Bagheri Kani, Martyr Sayyida Bushra Khamenei, and Martyr Zahra Haddad Adel.

The atmosphere was marked by grief and a renewed pledge of allegiance to the martyred Imam, as mourners offered condolences to Imam Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance).
