Khamenei's Funeral Begins in Tehran After Iran's Supreme Leader Killed in US-Israeli Strike
NPR·Sunday, 5 July 2026
A multi-day funeral has begun in Tehran for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who ruled Iran for over three decades. Khamenei was killed in an airstrike on February 28 at the start of what NPR describes as a US-Israeli war against Iran. The funeral is being held in the Iranian capital.
Why It Matters
Iran is a critical player in global energy markets and regional geopolitics. A post-Khamenei Iran creates deep uncertainty about oil supplies, regional stability, and the future of the nuclear standoff — all of which affect India's economy and energy security.
