In Iran, regime officials who survived the war intended to kill them appear in public for dayslong funeral of the late Supreme Leader Khamenei

Iranian state media published photos of Gen. Ahmad Vahidi attending meetings and sitting by the casket of the late Supreme Leader Khamenei, aged 86. Regime officials who survived previous war efforts to kill them appeared publicly during the dayslong funeral. The Iranian regime has framed these funerary processions as a symbolic referendum and a direct rebuke to the U.S.-Israeli campaign that aimed to decapitate the leadership of the state through targeted military actions.
