He said the foreign guests will include heads of state, parliament speakers, foreign ministers, and special envoys, but the ministry did not release a detailed list.
Media have reported that Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Russia's Security Council and head of the United Russia party, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, and senior representatives from China, India, and Turkey, are expected to attend the funeral.
Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and several senior Iranian officials were killed in a US-Israeli coalition airstrike on Tehran on February 28, the first day of the conflict.
Iranian authorities announced that funeral ceremonies will take place from Saturday to next Thursday, and a series of memorial events and religious rites will be held at multiple locations across Iran.
