In the early hours of February 28, America and Israel attacked Iran. Iran’s then Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in this attack. Not only Ali Khamenei, but also his little granddaughter, daughter-son-in-law and the wife of current Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei lost their lives in the Israeli attack.
Now after about 125 days, Ali Khamenei will be laid to rest, but the biggest question arising is that how did Iran keep the body of Ali Khamenei safe for so many days, what technology was used and why was there so much delay in the funeral?

Security concerns are troubling the security
Security is also a reason for the delay in Khamenei’s funeral. Tehran wanted to fine-tune the entire arrangement as the event is expected to attract a large number of people and foreign guests. Khamenei’s body is also to be sent to Iraq. Several rounds of talks took place between the governments of Iran and Iraq. The date was decided after the security arrangements and program were agreed upon.
After Karbala in Iraq, the body will be brought back to Iran. In such a situation, a small security lapse can lead to a major incident. To avoid this, Iran mobilized Basij forces and launched a major security operation.
How was the dead body kept safe for four months?
Now the question is, how was the body kept safe for four months? The answer was given by anti-terrorism expert Dr. Omar Mohammad. While talking to Fox News Digital, he told that Khamenei’s body was kept in cold storage. In Islam, chemical preservation of dead bodies is prohibited and there is a provision for immediate burial of the dead body. But Shia law allows in exceptional cases to delay burial and preserve the body in ice. In the case of the Supreme Leader, this exemption is even easier to obtain.

Dr. Omar Mohammed further said that keeping a dead body in ice for four months is not unusual. In Iran’s forensic morgues, arrangements are made to keep dead bodies for months. Yes, there may not be much dead body left to present.
What did Iran tell?
Although Iran did not officially tell how Khamenei’s body was kept? On the other hand, Iman Attarzadeh, the special spokesperson appointed for Ali Khamenei’s funeral, said that the bodies have been preserved with utmost respect and care in accordance with Islamic and legal standards. They have neither been buried nor kept anywhere as heritage.
