Iran is preparing for the funeral of Ali Khamenei, expected to draw millions and delegations from around 30 countries, including Russia and Pakistan, while Western nations are notably absent. The six-day mourning period will feature ceremonies in Tehran, Qom, and Najaf, culminating in Khamenei's burial in Mashhad. Iranian officials have criticized European countries for their lack of support, framing the attendees as standing on the 'right side of history.'
