Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, will hold the Friday prayer in Tehran on Friday, something that is a rarity.

According to reports to several media outlets, the 85-year-old Ayatollah was moved to a "safe location" after Israel killed Shia militia Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrallah last Friday.

However, in state-run Iranian media, it is now reported that Khamenei will lead the public prayer in a mosque in central Tehran. Roads will be closed due to the large crowd expected, reports Iranian media.

The prayer will be held after a memorial ceremony for Nasrallah and the high-ranking General Abbas Nilforushan from Iran's Revolutionary Guard, who was also killed by Israel's attacks on Lebanon last week.
