Shafaq News- Najaf
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force
commander, Esmail Qaani, arrived in the Iraqi city of Najaf, on Tuesday, to
attend the funeral procession of former Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Reports had circulated that Iraqi authorities had formally
objected to Qaani’s participation in the funeral.
The funeral is scheduled to begin in Najaf on Wednesday
morning before continuing to Karbala. Khamenei’s body will then be transported
to the Iranian city of Mashhad for burial.
