Iran invites PM Modi to Khamenei’s funeral in July; India has not yet decided
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to attend the state funeral and burial ceremonies of late Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, diplomatic sources said on Wednesday. The Indian side has not yet responded to the invitation.
The funeral rites, scheduled to take place in Tehran, Qom and Mashhad between July 5 and 9, are expected to attract several world leaders and senior dignitaries as Iran prepares to bid farewell to the country’s most influential political and religious figure of the past three decades.
Khamenei was killed on February 28 in a joint US-Israeli military strike targeting senior Iranian leaders in a major escalation in West Asia. His death triggered a long period of mourning and a political transition in Iran.
According to reports, funeral rites will begin in Tehran before passing through the holy city of Qom and culminating with burial in Mashhad, Khamenei’s hometown. Public processions and commemorative events are also planned as part of the state celebrations.
The invitation to Modi comes as part of India’s long-standing engagement with Iran on issues ranging from regional connectivity and energy security to cooperation on the Chabahar port project. Officials, however, said no decision had yet been taken on the level of India’s representation at the ceremonies.
Diplomatic sources said if the prime minister was unable to attend, India could be represented by a senior government or foreign ministry delegation, although no official announcement has been made.
The funeral is expected to be among the largest state ceremonies held by Iran in recent years and will mark an important moment in the country’s political and religious history.
Separately, the Indian Embassy in Tehran issued a revised travel advisory for Iran on Wednesday, acknowledging an improvement in the security situation in the country while continuing to warn its citizens against all non-essential travel to the Islamic Republic until further notice.
In the notice, the government said it was closely monitoring developments in Iran and noted “recent positive developments” that have contributed to an overall improvement in the situation.
However, despite the easing of tensions, New Delhi has not completely lifted travel restrictions, advising Indian nationals to avoid non-essential visits to Iran.
“Despite recent improvements, Indian nationals are advised to continue to avoid all non-essential travel to Iran until further notice,” the embassy said.
In another step, the embassy has also asked all Indian nationals currently in Iran and those arriving in the country to register their details with the mission as soon as possible to facilitate assistance in case of emergency.
The mission further advised Indian citizens to regularly monitor its website and social media platforms for updates and new advisories.
