The ceremony is also attended by Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei.
A large number of domestic and foreign journalists and photographers will give coverage to the event.
The mourners, who have come to Imam Khomeini’s mausoleum from different parts of the country and also from various countries, are dressed in black.
