Change in Funeral Program: Public Farewell Not Held in Mashhad; Burial Site at Imam Reza Shrine Prepared

The funeral procession of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei will be held in Mashhad, but the program for this ceremony has undergone a fundamental change: a public farewell with his body will not be held in Mashhad. The burial site of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been prepared at the Shrine of Imam al-Rida (peace be upon him) in Mashhad. The secretary of the information committee of the command center for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's funeral procession announced that more than one thousand five hundred mourning tents will participate in the ceremony with full readiness of executive agencies.

• A public farewell with the body of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei will not be held in Mashhad, representing a significant change to the original funeral ceremony program.
• The burial site of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been designated and prepared at the Shrine of Imam al-Rida (peace be upon him) located in Mashhad.
• Executive agencies are on full alert for the holding of the ceremony.
• More than one thousand five hundred mourning tents have been prepared to participate in the funeral procession ceremony.. **Coverage Difference:** All covered media outlets have emphasized the cancellation of the public farewell in Mashhad and have presented identical information regarding the mourning tents and executive agencies. The only difference lies in nomenclature: some media outlets have used titles such as "the martyred leader of the revolution" or "the martyred master," whereas other outlets have confined themselves solely to "the martyred leader of the revolution." The content of the narrative in all sources is identical and without material difference.
