Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei paid homage to the late founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, in a private visit to his mausoleum in Tehran, state TV footage showed on Sunday.

The visit marked the anniversary of Imam Khomeini's return to Tehran on February 1, 1979, in the lead up to the Islamic Revolution in the country.

Walking alone in the mausoleum, Iran Supreme leader prayed next to Khomeini shrine before visiting the near-by Zahra cemetery where Iranians soldiers lay in rest. The visit was kept small and private because of safety and health reasons amid the ongoing COVID threat.

Each year in Iran, the Islamic Revolution is commemorated for 10 days around February 1, a period known as 'Ten-Day Dawn.' Last year's ceremony attracted thousands of visitors.
