Funeral for Iranian supreme leader killed in Operation Epic Fury set for July: report
2026-06-13
[FoxNews] The funeral for Iran's late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a strike on Feb. 28 at the beginning of Operation Epic Fury, will unfold in early July, according to Reuters.
The news agency, citing Iranian state media reports Saturday, said the funeral will begin in Tehran on July 4 and finish with Khamenei’s burial in Mashhad on July 9.
Good to know.

Khamenei led Iran for more than three decades until his death earlier this year.
Until then, his remains are stored in a Mason Jar
Ali Khamenei's son, Mojtaba Khamenei, then became Iran's new supreme leader, although he has not been seen in public since.

He went underground as soon as the strike killed his father, amid reports that he was gravely injured.

Mojtaba Khamenei was struck in Operation Epic Fury — "wounded and likely disfigured," according to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. His wife and son were killed in the same strike.
