Iran Holds Memorial Ceremony for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as Leader Thanks Mourners

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei has expressed gratitude to the people of Iran and Iraq for their large-scale participation in the funeral and memorial ceremonies of the Martyred Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei. The message of thanks was delivered on Tuesday by Hojjatoleslam Seyyed Mostafa Khamenei during a memorial gathering in Tehran.

Addressing the ceremony, Hojjatoleslam Khamenei offered condolences to the Islamic Ummah, the Iranian nation, and Imam Mahdi (AJ), describing the death of the late leader as a profound tragedy. Citing the Quranic verse, “Give good news to the patient,” he said patience means enduring hardship while remaining steadfast on the “clear path” until the ultimate goal is achieved. He added that patience does not preclude seeking justice or confronting those responsible for what he described as major crimes.

Thousands of mourners gathered at Tehran’s Mosalla Mosque for the commemoration ceremony, which was hosted by Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei. The event was attended by senior government and military officials, including President Masoud Pezeshkian, as well as foreign ambassadors and diplomats who paid tribute to the late Iranian leader.
