On the morning of February 28, Israel and the United States launched large-scale military operations against Iran, striking Tehran, Bushehr, and several other cities. The attacks killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other high-ranking officials. That same day, Iran announced the launch of a large-scale retaliatory operation using missiles and drones.
Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his condolences to the people of Iran and its president following the death of Khamenei. The Russian leader called the incident a cynical murder and a violation of all norms of human morality and international law.
The funeral and burial of Ali Khamenei will take place in Iran from July 4 to 9. The funeral ceremony will take place at the Imam Khomeini Grand Mosque in Tehran, where his coffin will be on display. The burial will take place on July 9 in Mashhad, the Supreme Leader's hometown.
