President Pezeshkian pays tribute at tomb of martyred Leader in Mashhad

President Masoud Pezeshkian paid tribute at the tomb of the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, during a daylong trip to the shrine city of Mashhad in Khorasan Razavi province, according to Mehr News Agency.

The president attended the Dar al-Dhikr Portico to pay his homage at the resting place of the Leader, the report said. The visit came as part of a one-day programme in the city, which hosts the Imam Reza (a.s.) shrine and is a major religious centre in Iran.

According to the report, on February 28 the United States and Israel jointly waged a war of aggression against Iran. The attack led to the assassination of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, along with high-ranking military commanders and civilians.

The Mehr News Agency report did not provide further details on the president's schedule in Mashhad or on any statements he made during the visit. It also did not specify additional measures or remarks connected to the commemoration.

The tribute reflects the official mourning and public attention surrounding the death of the Leader, whose assassination was attributed to the joint US-Israeli military action. Iranian officials have described the February 28 strikes as an act of aggression.

According to Mehr News Agency, the president's attendance at the tomb in Mashhad formed part of his engagements during the daylong provincial visit.
