Iran: Dignitaries arrive for Ayatollah Khamenei's funeral

Foreign dignitaries from multiple countries have arrived in Iran for the funeral of late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Representatives from China, Belarus, Iraq, Turkmenistan, India, Afghanistan, Russia, and Pakistan attended the ceremonies, alongside officials from Iran's allies such as Iraq and Armenia. The funeral processions will include stops in Qom, Iraq, and Khamenei's hometown of Mashhad, with security measures in place across affected cities. Notably, Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi, a member of the Taliban, attended, as did family members of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli attack. A high-ranking Iranian Revolutionary Guard general, General Ahmad Vahidi, was seen in public for the first time in months, signaling potential developments in Iran's ongoing tensions with the U.S.
