Iran Still Won't Bury Khamenei, 7 Weeks After Assassination | Iran Is Too Scared To Give A Funeral

Seven weeks after the assassination of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran has still not held a state funeral or announced a burial date. Khamenei was killed in a joint US-Israeli airstrike on February 28, triggering a conflict that continues to destabilise the region.

Now, the Islamic Republic finds itself paralysed — too afraid to organise a public ceremony that could draw massive crowds and invite further military strikes. Security analysts, including Behnam Taleblu of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, say the regime is operating from a position of fear and weakness.

Iranian officials are reportedly considering Mashhad, Khamenei's hometown and home to the Imam Reza shrine, as a potential burial site. A three-day state funeral planned for early March was abandoned as US and Israeli strikes intensified.

A fragile US-Iran truce, signed on April 8, is set to expire this week, adding further uncertainty to an already volatile situation. This is the full story behind one of the most extraordinary post-assassination developments in modern history.
