TEHRAN, IRAN - JULY 03: Mourners gather at a ceremony honoring Iran's former supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the capital city on July 03, 2026 in Tehran, Iran. Iran began a week of funeral ceremonies for Khamenei, who was killed in February at the start of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. Following last month's provisional ceasefire deal, there are no longer attacks on major cities like Tehran, but the U.S. and Iran have continued to trade tit-for-tat strikes along the Strait of Hormuz, the critical waterway on Iran's southern coast.
