Iran Issues Detailed Guidelines for Massive Funeral of Khamenei Amid Heat Concerns
The Iranian regime has released a detailed instruction sheet for participants in the upcoming funeral of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was reportedly killed by Israel in the opening strike of Operation 'Lion's Roar'. The funeral is scheduled to take place on July 6, about a month after his assassination, with an estimated 35 million people expected to attend.
The guidelines, circulated on social media, advise mourners to prepare for the intense summer heat by bringing essential medications, water, hats, and umbrellas. Attendees are also instructed to eat a light breakfast and stay hydrated by drinking water every 20 to 30 minutes to prevent heatstroke. The instructions include signs of heat exhaustion and recommend moving affected individuals to cool, shaded areas.
Social media users noted the thoroughness of the advice regarding heat precautions but pointed out the absence of guidance on how to respond if Israel were to attack the funeral. One commentator remarked that after months of tension, people are likely accustomed to the ongoing threat environment. The funeral preparations reflect both the scale of the event and the regime's concern for public safety amid the summer heat and geopolitical risks.
