The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution will reportedly say prayers on the late Rafsanjani's body.

The funeral processions will take him to Beheshte Zahra cemetery and then to the late Imam Khomeini's mausoleum where he will rest in peace near his close ally, the late Imam Khomeini, founder of the Islamic Revolution.
