Ali Khamenei's coffin was displayed at Tehran's Grand Mosalla on 3 July alongside those of four family members killed in the same 28 February strike, Al Jazeera reported, with a public ceremony on 4 July and processions to Qom, Iraq's shrine cities and burial in Mashhad to follow. Iran's leaders and foreign delegations attended. Diplomatic contacts with Washington were suspended during mourning, Haaretz reported, and Trump accepted that talks would not resume until the funeral ended, the Guardian reported. The funeral had been planned for March but was delayed by the war.
