💢 On Saturday, 13 Tir, state media outlets announced the final names of the people who are set to recite the funeral prayer (prayer over the deceased) in three cities—Tehran, Qom, and Mashhad—for the funeral procession of Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei. Based on the initial report, in Tehran, Jafar Sobhani; in Qom, Naser Makarem Shirazi; and in Mashhad, Hossein Nouri Hamedani, were supposed to lead the funeral prayer. But hours after this report, it was announced that in Qom, Abdullah Javadi Amoli would replace Makarem Shirazi. As a result, in none of the three cities where the funeral procession will be held will Seyed Mojtaba Khamenei, the new leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, be present to offer the prayer. 🔴 News
