Iran's late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has made his final journey to one of Shia Islam's most revered cities, Najaf, in a move that is expected to draw thousands of mourners and dignitaries from across the Middle East. Khamenei's coffin arrived in Najaf, a city steeped in Islamic history and home to the shrine of Imam Ali, one of the most important figures in Shia Islam. The visit is seen as a significant gesture by the Iranian government, which is likely to strengthen ties with Iraq and other Shia-majority countries in the region. As Khamenei's legacy is remembered and mourned, Najaf is set to become a focal point for a massive display of Shia solidarity and devotion.
