Thousands of mourners dressed in black gathered on Sunday in the southwestern Iranian city of Ahvaz to pay respects to top general Qasem Soleimani, days after he was killed in a US strike.
ISNA news agency said Soleimani's remains and those of five other Iranians -- all Guards members -- killed in the US drone strike had arrived at Ahvaz airport before dawn. On Monday, supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is expected to pray over his remains at Tehran University before a procession to Azadi Square.
His remains are then due to be taken to the holy city of Qom for a ceremony at Masumeh shrine, ahead of a funeral in his hometown Kerman on Tuesday.
