Gorgan

Gorgan is a city located in northeastern Iran. It recently served as one of the locations where thousands of Iranians gathered to honor the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, 40 days after his death on February 28th. These memorial rallies, also held in cities like Ourmia and Tehran, featured portraits of the deceased leader and flags of the Islamic Republic. The gatherings in Tehran occurred after a fragile ceasefire went into effect following bombardments. Gorgan's role as a site for these commemorations highlights the city's participation in the nationwide mourning and remembrance of the former Supreme Leader, particularly in the context of recent political and military events affecting Iran.
