Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is likely to visit Iran in the first week of July to attend the funeral prayers of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to sources. Khamenei, Iran’s number one since 1989, was martyred in the first hour of the US-Israel war against Iran on February 28 in a strike on a meeting of senior officials in Tehran that also left his daughter-in-law, daughter, and at least one grandchild martyred, as per reports. Ali Khamenei has yet to be buried, with state media reporting that his funeral will take place on July 9 in his hometown.
