Iran’s martyred FM laid to rest at Abdol-Azim shrine near Tehran

Tehran, IRNA -- The martyred Iranian foreign minister Hossein Amirabdollahian has been laid to rest at the shrine of Abdul-Azim al-Hassani in the city of Rey, south of the capital Tehran.

Officials and groups of people attended the burial ceremony that took place on Thursday, four days after Amirabdollahian along with president Ebrahim Raisi and several more officials lost their lives in a helicopter crash in northwest Iran.

Acting President Mohammad Mokhber was in attendance as well. He also met with the family members of the late top diplomat, calling his martyrdom a great loss for the country and the Foreign Ministry.
