The body of slain Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has arrived via plane to the Iranian city of Mashhad, where he is set to be buried, the state broadcaster IRIB reported Thursday.
"The aircraft carrying the body of the martyred leader of the Revolution, along with members of his family, has arrived at Mashhad's Shahid Hasheminejad Airport," IRIB said, adding that the funeral procession in the city is due to begin at 2 p.m. local time (6:30 a.m. Eastern Time).
This is the final day of a six-day procession commemorating the late Khamenei and members of his family killed at the outset of the war with the United States and Israel.
