Doodmeh-Khani by Valiant Lors Before the Start of the Farewell Ceremony

Before the formal commencement of the farewell ceremony for Iran's "martyred leader" at Tehran's prayer grounds, a number of people arrived hours in advance, and the doors of the prayer grounds were opened three hours ahead of the scheduled time. During this gathering, a group of Lur Bakhtiari performers carried out the traditional ceremony of "doudmeh-khani" and chest-beating and mourning rituals were also held. Additionally, a poetry recitation ceremony titled "Final Farewell" was held in the same space, and Tehran's streets also witnessed the presence of mourners.

• The doors of Tehran's prayer grounds were opened three hours earlier than the official time for the farewell ceremony to begin, allowing attendees to enter ahead of schedule.
• People were present at Tehran's prayer grounds before the official start of the farewell ceremony and awaited the commencement of the proceedings.
• A group of Lur Bakhtiari performers carried out the traditional "doudmeh-khani" ceremony as a form of mourning before the official ceremony began.
• Chest-beating rituals were also held simultaneously with the doudmeh-khani at the venue.
• A poetry recitation ceremony titled "Final Farewell" was held on the margins of the main event.
• IRIB news agency published a quote from one of the attendees with the following meaning: "We were supposed to sacrifice ourselves for you, but you gave your entire life for the stability of this nation."
• IRNA in its report referred to the condition of Tehran's streets concurrent with the commencement of the farewell ceremony, without providing further details.
• Multiple media outlets published video footage of the doudmeh-khani ceremony, which demonstrated extensive media attention to this ethnic ritual.
• Mashriq News used the phrase "their martyred sir" in its headline when referring to the deceased.
• IRIB news agency in one of its reports used the phrase "Iran's martyred leader," but the specific identity of the deceased was not explicitly mentioned in any of the coverage provided.. Coverage difference: Media outlets close to official institutions such as IRIB, Fars, Mashriq News, and Hamshahri emphasized the emotional and ceremonial dimensions of the event — particularly the doudmeh-khani of the Lur Bakhtiari and the widespread presence of people — and employed emotionally-charged language, whereas IRNA adopted a more reportorial and less emotional approach. None of the available sources provided information regarding the identity of the deceased, the precise date of the event, or the political context of the matter, and this information gap makes a more complete assessment of the event difficult.
