Iranians have flooded social media with dark humor and mocking comments about the delayed burial of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei after authorities on Wednesday canceled a planned procession and what they described as a public farewell to his body due to security concerns.

The situation triggered a wave of posts across social media platforms, particularly on X, many of them sarcastic, angry or openly celebratory.

One widely shared comment drew a comparison with the authorities’ treatment of families whose relatives were killed during protests.

Ali can’t possibly blow up twice, can he?

IIRC, the burial of the previous ayatollah was a real shitshow, too.

I think the delay may be because they are waiting for the 72 virgins to reach the age of 13.

Yes, I believe his corpse was tipped out of the casket, whereupon the gathered faithful proceeded to tear off some of his fingers and chunks of his beard. "Holy relics", I guess.

Such a lovely, respectful culture. Not the least bit backward. /s

I wish they would hold a big public funeral for Khamanei. It would make an excellent target for a bunch of cluster bombs.

He lost his Shiite. A little hard to put him back together.

10 million people attended the Ayatollah Khomeini’s funeral in 1989. While I doubt his successor would be able to pull even close to that number even in ideal circumstances, he still might get a mil.

We have around 15 GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) weapons. If the jihadi crowds are densely packed enough, using 2 or 3 of them might suffice

Someone post the gif of the fancy dressed black dudes high stepping with the casket on their shoulders.
