Russian media: Faith, unity, will of Iranians displayed in Leader's funeral

The Russian news agency RIA Novosti reported on Saturday that the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution will not only go down in the history of the country but also in the history of the world as a brave and fearless leader; a figure who has become a symbol of resistance against bullying and hegemony.

RIA Novosti also recalled that massive farewell ceremonies are being held for Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the martyred leader of the Islamic Revolution, who became a martyr on the first day of the joint US-Israeli aggression. In Tehran, this ceremony has been described as the "most important event of the century," the report added.

According to observers, the farewell ceremony for the 86-year-old Leader of the Islamic Revolution will not only be the largest funeral ceremony and the largest gathering in human history, but it is also a sign of the faith, unity and will of the ancient Iranian nation, the Russian media outlet said.

This ceremony is unprecedented in many ways. The farewell ceremony for Ayatollah Khamenei will last for 6 days, and the burial ceremony will be held next Thursday in the holy city and birthplace of the martyr, it further noted. The farewell ceremony began in Tehran yesterday. The ceremony will continue in the capital until Monday, then the body will be transferred to the holy city of Qom, and after that, the farewell ceremonies will be held outside Iran's borders, in the two holy cities of Iraq, namely Karbala and Najaf.

According to Mehr News, the report by RIA Novosti highlighted the global significance of the event and the unity displayed by the Iranian people.
