In the early hours of July 10, 2026, the official Khamenei.ir account (@Khamenei_fa) announced the burial of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei at the Imam Reza shrine in Mashhad. The tweet, translated from Persian, read:

The pure body of the martyred leader of the Islamic Revolution, His Eminence Grand Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei, may his soul be sanctified, was buried at dawn on Friday, 19 Tir 1405 in the Dar al-Zikr of the luminous shrine of Imam Reza, peace be upon him.

In a quote-tweet, user Shin (@hey_itsmyturn) responded with a curt and vulgar sendoff:

So long, Jakesh.

‘Jakesh’ is a Persian vulgarism roughly equivalent to ‘pimp’ or ‘bastard.’
