BBC Coverage from Tehran
BBC International correspondent Nawal Al Maghafi is reporting from Tehran, where authorities anticipate millions will participate in the funeral commemorations for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The former supreme leader of Iran was killed over four months ago in strikes carried out by the US and Israel at the onset of the war.
Funeral Gatherings
Large crowds of mourners dressed in black have already assembled at Tehran's Grand Mosalla mosque. His body is currently lying in state there ahead of the burial scheduled for next Thursday in his hometown of Mashhad.
Reporting Restrictions
The BBC's Senior international correspondent Nawal Al Maghafi is reporting under the condition that none of her material is used on the BBC's Persian Service. These restrictions are imposed on all international media organizations operating within Iran.
