Iran Invites PM Modi To Former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's Funeral

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has formally invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to attend the multi-city state funeral and burial ceremonies for Iran’s late Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei. The formal invitation was delivered to India's Ministry of External Affairs via the Iranian Embassy in New Delhi.Funeral Schedule and ContextTimeline: The multi-day state funeral ceremonies are scheduled to take place between July 4 and July 9, 2026.Procession Route: The public events will start with holidays and processions in Tehran on July 4 and 5. The procession moves to the holy city of Qom on July 7, followed by ceremonial stops in Najaf and Karbala (Iraq) on July 8, before concluding with the final burial on July 9 at the Imam Reza shrine in his hometown of Mashhad.Background on Postponement: Ayatollah Khamenei was killed at age 86 on February 28, 2026, during the opening wave of joint US-Israeli air strikes against Tehran. While Islamic law typically requires immediate burial, ceremonies were heavily delayed due to active wartime conditions and the logistical coordination required for an expected turnout of up to 20 million mourners. A fragile ceasefire and subsequent cessation of hostilities negotiated between the US and Iran in the spring have now made hosting the massive event possible.
