Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is learnt to have invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the burial ceremonies for the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, diplomatic sources said on Wednesday.
The funeral ceremonies will be held from July 5 to 9.
There is no confirmation from New Delhi on the invitation to PM Modi.
Khamenei, who ruled Iran for three decades, was killed on February 28, the first day of massive US and Israeli air strikes on Tehran. Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Ali Khamenei, was later elected the next Supreme Leader.
The Indian prime minister has been invited by President Pezeshkian to the burial ceremonies, the diplomatic sources said.
The funeral is slated to be held in Tehran and Qom on July 5, 6, and 7. The final ceremony will take place in the city of Mashhad on July 9.
