In the capital Tehran, the official farewell ceremony of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Hamanei, started with massive participation at the city's grand square, Mosalla. Hundreds of thousands of mourners from all over the country filled the area hours in advance to perform their last duty to their leader, flocking to the meeting point with prayers and laments. Crowds wishing to attend the ceremony entered the venue under tight security measures and extensive precautions taken by security units, and the atmosphere was shrouded in awe and sorrow.
Prior to the official opening, giant screens hosting live broadcasts by the Iranian official broadcaster IRIB and other national channels were placed in and around Mosalla square. While mourners watched slides commemorating Hamanei's life and political legacy accompanied by revolutionary anthems and prayers, a scene decorated with giant banners and Iranian flags emerged before the ceremony started. The crowd chanted religious and political slogans reflecting the values represented by the regime, the symbol of the Islamic Republic, which Hamanei led for years.
The ceremony was attended by Iranian military officials, heads of state, and high-level bureaucrats, as well as foreign delegations and guest delegations. The Ministry of Interior and security forces took extensive traffic-free measures, especially on the routes leading from the metro to the ceremony area, to prevent any unfortunate incident and manage the crowd. Fire and emergency crews were also kept on standby in sensitive areas against possible crowd congestion.
The official farewell ceremony continued as a visual feast with images and documentaries showing scenes from Hamanei's life, during which emotional moments were experienced. At one point in the ceremony, the participation of Hamanei's close family and advisors deepened the emotions of the mournful crowd and led to tears. Speakers praised Hamanei's role in increasing the country's regional power in both political and military spheres, emphasizing that his legacy would be passed on to future generations.
The ceremony ended in preparation for the procession to Behişt-e Zahra cemetery, where Hamanei's body will be buried in a state ceremony and where Khomeini's tomb is also located. As the crowd left the area, they made intense screams and emotional displays to send off Iran's religious leader. This event has gone down in history as one of the most crowded and emotional ceremonies in Iran in recent years and has received wide coverage in the international press.
