Iranian state television is broadcasting live footage of funeral ceremonies for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Tehran on July 3, 2026, according to Anadolu Agency and Al-Monitor. Claims that Khamenei was killed in February 2026 U.S.-Israeli airstrikes that began a four-month war originate solely from Al-Monitor reporting. Multiple processions, coffin displays, and planned movements of the body to other cities are also described in the same sources.
