Iran prepares for the Supreme Leader's funeral ceremony

Following the death of the Supreme Leader, media outlets in Iran reported today, July 2, 2026, on the progress of preparations for the state funeral. Most local channels focused on presenting the vehicle that will transport the deceased's coffin.

Akharin Khabar – a channel identified with the official line of the government in Tehran – published the first footage of the vehicle's preparation process. The report was also widely distributed by elements identified with the Revolutionary Guards, including Breaking News Iran War, IRGC News Channel 🏴, and Official Saberin News Channel, which confirmed that this is the vehicle intended to carry the "pure body of the martyred Imam" (a phrase reflecting the religious-revolutionary narrative of the sources).

At the same time, Khorasan Online quoted the commander of the Revolutionary Guards in Tehran, who announced that "the vehicle preparations for transporting the martyred leader's coffin have been completed". Reports also come from external sources identified with the Axis of Resistance, such as Yemeni Ansarullah Islamic Resistance, which also distributed visual footage of the vehicle.

The coverage focuses mainly on the ceremonial and logistical aspects of the event, under an atmosphere of official national mourning reflected in all reporting sources. As of now, no further details have been published regarding the exact date of the funeral or the route of the procession.
