Official says Khamenei's funeral procession may be airborne
Authorities are considering holding slain Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's funeral procession airborne to reduce crowding and improve security, the governor of Razavi Khorasan province said on Saturday.
Gholamhossein Mozaffari said the proposal, put forward by the provincial security council, was likely to be implemented because it would ease crowd management and provide safer conditions.
Officials have announced that Khamenei is due to be buried in the northeastern city of Mashhad on July 9.
