The Iranian government has started a series of large funeral services for the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and several family members, who died in an airstrike in February.

伊朗政府已開始為已故最高領袖阿里·哈梅內伊及數名在二月空襲中喪生的家庭成員舉行一系列大規模的葬禮服務。

The funeral events are taking place in several cities to show that the state remains stable. After the first services in Tehran, the bodies will be moved to Qom, and then to the Iraqi cities of Najaf and Karbala, before the final burial in Mashhad. High-ranking officials, such as President Masoud Pezeshkian and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, are attending the events. However, the successor, Mojtaba Khamenei, has not appeared in public. Sources claim that he suffered serious injuries to his face and legs during the attack on February 28.

葬禮活動在多個城市舉行，以顯示國家依然穩定。在德黑蘭舉行首場儀式後，遺體將被移至庫姆，接著前往伊拉克的納賈夫與卡爾巴拉，最後在馬什哈德安葬。包括總統馬蘇德·佩澤什基安與議長穆罕默德·巴格爾·加利巴夫在內的高階官員均出席了活動。然而，接班人穆吉塔巴·哈梅內伊並未公開露面。消息稱他在二月二十八日的襲擊中面部與腿部受重傷。

To manage the expected crowd of 20 million people, the government has organized 11,000 buses and millions of metro trips. Despite these efforts, there are concerns about safety due to extreme heat and overcrowding. According to the German newspaper WELT, city officials have prepared 3,000 graves at the Behesht-e Zahra cemetery as a precaution in case people die from heatstroke or crowd crushes.

為了管理預計兩千萬人的群眾，政府安排了11,000輛公車及數百萬次地鐵行程。儘管採取了這些措施，但由於極端高溫與過度擁擠，人們仍對安全表示擔憂。根據德國《世界報》報導，市政府在貝赫什特-扎赫拉公墓準備了3,000個墳墓，以防有人因中暑或人群擠壓而死亡。

Furthermore, the government is using the funeral to express its anger toward the West. Officials have emphasized their opposition to the United States and Israel, who were responsible for the military attack. This is happening during a fragile ceasefire with Washington. The Iranian administration describes this agreement as a strategic victory because it allows them to access frozen foreign assets and reduces financial sanctions.

此外，政府利用葬禮表達對西方的憤怒。官員強調他們反對對此次軍事襲擊負責的美國與以色列。此時正值與華盛頓處於脆弱的停火期間。伊朗政府將此協議描述為一場戰略勝利，因為這使他們能夠獲取被凍結的海外資產並減少金融制裁。

The state funeral remains a carefully planned political and logistical event, occurring while diplomatic talks with the United States are temporarily paused.

這次國葬是一場經過精心策劃的政治與後勤活動，而在此期間，與美國的外交談判暫時停擺。
