At Last: Khamenei Funeral Finally Set for July, 4 Months After US Airstrike Death
Iran sets public funeral for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on July 4, months after US airstrike death.

My Mom always said that when someone dies, you should find something good to say about them. In some cases, the best thing one can say is "...he's dead. Good." And there are people like that out there. One of them was shuffled off the mortal coil earlier this year, courtesy of the United States and Israel.
Iran has now scheduled the long-postponed public funeral of the old goblin, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Islam generally requires burial within 24 hours, but American and Israeli explosives have delayed the late ayatollah's funeral rites.
The funeral for Iranās late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei will begin in Tehran on July 4 and conclude with his burial in his hometown, the northeastern holy city of Mashhad, ā on July 9, state media reported on Saturday.
Certainly, the choice of dates was not intended as a poke at the United States. It's doubtful anyone in what's left of the regime has that much imagination.Khamenei was killed on the first day of Israeli and U.S. airstrikes against Iran on February 28. The 86-year-old cleric had been at the helm of the ā Islamic Republic for 36 years.
The ā funeral arrangements will include ceremonies on July 7 in the holy city of Qom, south of Tehran, ā media said.
Islamic law requires the deceased to be buried as ā soon as possible, and ideally āwithin 24 hours of death, but exceptions are allowed, for example in time of war.
It's difficult to hold a public funeral while things are exploding all around. ~Snip~
This is a guy who held the reins of a nation that has been, since 1979, the world's foremost state sponsor of Islamic terrorism. He oversaw a vicious, brutal, Bronze-Age theocracy. His regime has been responsible for the deaths of thousands upon thousands of people. They were behind the Marine barracks bombing in Beirut in 1983. They provided support for groups like Hezbollah and Hamas for decades, including logistical support for the horrors perpetrated on Israeli citizens by Hamas in the October 7th, 2023, atrocities. This is a regime that slaughters its own people in the thousands whenever those people muster up the nerve to ask to be allowed to enter the modern world, instead of living in a vicious medieval theocracy.
Now, with a possible peace deal in the works, Iran has mustered up the nerve to plan a public funeral for this nasty old creature. About that, I can only say this:
He's dead. Good.
Commentary:
Choosing July 4th isnāt an accident and has nothing to do with finding body parts.
It stinks of evil and revenge... I would suggest they change the day or that we know where every āleaderā and their brothers and nephews live and how we can take out 4 generations of these folks at one time if necessary.
My thoughts were that Khamenei is either pretty much destroyed by now or they've spent a lot of money in refrigeration to keep him on ice.
So getting him in the ground before the sun fell is just a myth?
If I'm not mistaken, the last Ayatollah funeral, had the body falling from the casket while in the air.
Because of the frenzied crowd, the coffin bearers could not make it to the open grave. At one point, the body fell out of the plain coffin--the legs projecting from the shroud--and was dumped back ... Oops!
Can we expect the same this time?
