The mourning ceremony for Iran’s slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, which was set to begin Wednesday evening, has been postponed, according to state-affiliated Fars news agency.

“Previously it was announced that starting at 10pm on Wednesday night and for three nights mourning would begin, however due to the anticipated presence of millions of people and the need to provide the proper infrastructure the program has been postponed,” it said, reports CNN.

No updated timeframe was given on when the official ceremony will take place.

Three days of national mourning, including gatherings in Tehran squares, however, will continue, according to the head of the Islamic Propaganda Coordination in Tehran, Hojjatoleslam Seyed Mohsen Mahmoudi.
