Iran said it would postpone the funeral of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a U.S. airstrike.
On the 4th (local time), AFP reported this. According to Iran's state broadcaster, government authorities said the event was postponed because an unprecedented crowd is expected to flock to the funeral.
It added that "a new date will be announced later."
Iran had initially planned to hold Khamenei's farewell funeral as a state funeral for three days starting at 10 p.m. on the 4th (3:30 a.m. on the 5th Korea time).
