Mourners have turned up at the Imam Khomeini Grand Mosalla in Tehran, where coffins containing the bodies of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several members of his family are on display.
Funeral processions are expected to take place at multiple locations in Iran and Iraq until July 9.
Iran is on watch for any attacks that may target the funeral, where millions of people and several foreign dignitaries are expected to take part.
It’s not known if the funeral will mark the first public appearance of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei since the war began.
Iran’s army general has warned the US and Israel against launching attacks during the ceremonies.
US President Donald Trump, meanwhile, has said the US is giving Iran “a week off for a funeral.”
