Mourners pay respects as Iran’s slain leader Ali Khamenei lies in state

Iran has begun a seven-day state funeral for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the former Supreme Leader who was killed in an airstrike on February 28, along with several family members, including his daughter, son-in-law, and three-year-old granddaughter. The event has drawn more than 100 foreign delegations, though European nations involved in supporting the U.S.-Israel military actions against Iran have reportedly not been invited. Khamenei's coffin was displayed in Tehran's Grand Mosalla, draped in a symbolic red flag associated with resistance. His successor, Mojtaba Khamenei, assumed leadership shortly after his death. Security in Tehran has been heightened ahead of the ceremonies.

Bias read (Left): The article emphasizes the mourning process, the involvement of numerous foreign dignitaries, and the exclusion of European countries perceived as supportive of the U.S.-Israel military campaign. It highlights Iran's narrative of resistance and sacrifice, aligning with leftist or nationalist framing
