On Friday, a ceremony was held in Tehran for foreign delegations to pay tribute to the martyred Leader. It brought together one of the largest gatherings of foreign dignitaries in Iran in recent decades, with representatives from across Asia, Africa, Europe, the Americas, and major international organizations attending the event.
The delegations included presidents, prime ministers, parliamentary speakers, foreign ministers, senior government officials, political leaders, and representatives of religious organizations and resistance movements, underscoring the broad international participation in the ceremony.
Ayatollah Khamenei was martyred in a joint US-Israeli strike on Tehran on February 28, 2026, at the outset of a 40-day war of aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran. The conflict witnessed steadfast national resistance and retaliatory operations by the Iranian Armed Forces that ultimately forced the aggressors to halt their military campaign.
His assassination prompted widespread condemnation from Iran and its allies, while millions of Iranians and supporters of the Axis of Resistance across the region have mourned his martyrdom.
