From 7:30 p.m. local time in Sweden, there will be an opportunity to say goodbye to the remains of "the nation's martyred guide," the IRNA news agency reported. It will take place in a large mosque in Tehran.

Khamenei will then be buried in his hometown of Mashhad in northeastern Iran.

The Ayatollah had ruled Iran as the country's supreme spiritual leader for just over 36 years. He was 86 when he was killed in an airstrike in connection with the US and Israel's starting a war with Iran on Saturday.
