Iranians will bid farewell to late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ​at a ceremony in Tehran late on Wednesday, ‌a senior Iranian official told state media.

Hojjatoleslam Mahmoudi, head of Iran’s Islamic Propagation Council, ​said the farewell ceremony would continue ​for three days and the funeral ⁠procession will be announced later.

The official ​said the public will be able ​to pay their respects to the body of late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei at Tehran’s ​Imam Khomeini Prayer Hall starting at ​10pm.

“The Mosalla (prayer hall) will be receiving ‌visitors ⁠and the dear people can attend and take part in the farewell ceremony and mark a strong presence once ​again,” he ​said in ⁠comments carried by Iranian media.

Iran’s Ali Khamenei, who based his ​iron rule of Iran on ​hostility ⁠to the US and Israel, was killed on Saturday, aged 86, in air strikes ⁠by ​Israel and the US, ​according to Iranian state media.
