Footage from state owned network Press TV showed huge crowd attending the funeral procession of President Raeisi and his companions in the northwestern city of Tabriz, the site of the chopper crash.

The funeral of Raisi will be held on May 23 in the Iranian city of Mashhad in the northeast of the country, Vice-President of the Republic, Mohsen Mansouri, announced.

The funeral will be held on Thursday evening at the mausoleum of Imam Reza, he said. The Mausoleum of Imam Reza is located in Mashhad, the hometown of Raisi, a centre of pilgrimage and one of the main shrines of the Shias.

The bodies of the deceased will be transferred to the holy city of Qom, from the holy shrine of Hazrat Masoumeh (SA) to Jamkaran Mosque, before then heading to the capital Tehran.

Large ceremonies are planned in Tehran’s Grand Mosallah Mosque on Wednesday. Raisi’s body will then be moved to the historic Imam Reza shrine in Mashhad where Iran’s Supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei will conduct prayers, according to Mehr News agency.

On Monday, Khamenei announced five days of mourning and a public holiday has been declared with offices closed over all over the country
Iran will elect its new president on June 28 to succeed Raisi, state media reported.

Also, an investigation has begun to probe into the helicopter crash in which Raisi and his accompanying team were killed.

Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Bagheri has assigned a high-ranking delegation to investigate the case, state media reported.

The delegation headed by Brigadier Ali Abdollahi has been dispatched to the site of the incident in and the investigation has already begun. The results of the investigations will be announced later when the mission is completed, IRNA reported.

As per Iran’s constitution, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei named Iran’s first vice president, Mohammad Mokhber, as acting President of the country.

Article 131 of the Iranian Constitution mandates, the formation of a council to manage the executive affairs of the country for a period of 50 days and prepare for the presidential elections.
