Millions of people are expected to attend funeral ceremonies in Iraq for martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, a spokesman for the Iraqi media committee organizing the event has said.

A caravan of anti-imperialist activists, academics, journalists, and representatives of Islamic centers from across Europe are traveling to Tehran to participate in the funeral procession of the martyred Leader.

The Iranian president says a massive public turnout at the funeral of late Ayatollah Khamenei will serve as a decisive response to terrorism, violence and bullying.

Qalibaf calls on the Iranian nation to attend the upcoming funeral ceremonies for Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and demand vengeance for his blood.

The commander of Iran’s highest operational command unit says the Armed Forces stand ready to give a harsh response to any "miscalculation" by the US, Israel and their allies.

The Iranian culture minister says some 600 foreign journalists and media representatives will cover the upcoming funeral ceremonies for martyr Ayatollah Khamenei.

A high-level Pakistani delegation led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will also attend.
