Iran readies thousands of burial plots amid concerns over potential mass casualties at Khamenei's funeral
According to a report by the German publication Die Welt, Iranian authorities have developed contingency plans in anticipation of 1,500 to 3,000 deaths throughout the multi-day funeral services for Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The report notes that officials have already dug thousands of new graves at the Behesht-e Zahra cemetery. These preparations are being made as the government braces for the risk of deadly crowd surges and potential security incidents.
