Tehran airspace to close on Monday

Airspace over Tehran will be “completely closed” on Monday for the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s funeral procession, Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization said on Friday.

“On Monday, coinciding with the funeral procession for the late revolutionary leader, Tehran’s airspace will be completely closed, and no flights will be permitted,” the organization said.

Funeral ceremonies for the killed leader are expected to take place at multiple locations in Iran and Iraq from July 4 to July 9, and millions of people are expected to attend.
