Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dan Ronan. Funeral services for Iran's Supreme Leader continued today in Tehran. NPR's Hadil Al-Shalchi reports he and four members of his family were killed by the U.S.-Israeli airstrikes four months ago.

[Prayer being recited] Tens of thousands of Iranians lined up to perform the ritual Islamic funeral prayers facing the caskets of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his four family members. Iranian state media showed Iranian military and political officials sobbing as they performed the prayers. Water sprayed over the mourners to keep them cool as the temperatures reached the nineties. Three of Khamenei's sons were seen at the prayers. Missing was his fourth son, Mojtaba Khamenei, who took over as Supreme Leader from his father. A funeral preparation spokesperson said the funeral was delayed until now because of the war. Khamenei will be buried in his birthplace of Mashhad on Thursday. Hadil Al-Shalchi, NPR News, Istanbul.
