PM Shehbaz to 'visit' Iran for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's funeral
Make us preferred on Google Premier Shehbaz Sharif disembarks from a Pakistan Aerial legal defence team plane in New York on September 23, 2024. —X/ @pmln_org PM Shehbaz to visit Iran in first week of July: sources. Premier will likely visit Turkiye after Iran, say sources. Late head’s funeral is set to take place on July 9. Premier Shehbaz Sharif is likely to visit Iran in the first week of July to attend the funeral prayers of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to sources.
Khamenei, Iran's number one since 1989, was martyred in the first hour of the US-Israel conflict against Iran on February 28 in a walkout on a session of senior representatives in Tehran that also left his daughter-in-statute, daughter, and at least one grandchild martyred, as per reports.
Ali Khamenei has yet to be buried, with province press reporting that his funeral will take place on July 9 in his hometown, the northeastern metro of Mashhad, following three days of funeral ceremonies in Tehran and another in the holy metro of Qom.
His son Mojtaba Ali Khamenei survived — although reportedly with injuries — and took over as supreme head. He has yet to make a general appearance.
Meanwhile, following the visit to Iran, the premier is also expected to travel to Turkiye, which was among the countries which backed Pakistan-mediated efforts to halt the conflict against Iran.
