According to sources, religious and official events related to Khamenei’s funeral will be held in different cities between July 5 and 9. The initial events will be held in Tehran and Qom on 5, 6 and 7 July, while the final event will conclude in Mashhad on 9 July.

The invitation reached the Ministry of External Affairs

This invitation sent to India has reached the Ministry of External Affairs, although it is not yet clear whether Prime Minister Modi himself will attend this program or not. Also, it has not been decided whether any other Indian delegation will go to Iran or not.

Movement of ships starts from Hormuz Strait

Meanwhile, a new situation has also arisen at the international level regarding relations between Iran and America. Following an agreement between the two countries, movement of ships has resumed on the Strait of Hormuz. Under this agreement, the US Finance Ministry has issued a special license giving 60 days relief in the sanctions imposed on Iranian oil, which will make it possible to import Iranian oil into America. It is worth noting that America had not imported Iranian oil on a large scale since the 1990s.
