Hawzah News Agency- The official funeral and memorial service for the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution was held at Tehran's Imam Khomeini Grand Prayer Grounds, with senior officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran, political and religious figures, and foreign delegations in attendance, Anadolu reported.
According to the report, the ceremony commenced with the recitation of verses from the Holy Quran and a tribute to the body of the late Leader, with commemorative programs continuing throughout the day.
