Iranian politician accuses Europe of being "barbaric and savage"

The article discusses the funeral preparations for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the former supreme leader of Iran, who died in an attack on the first day of the war initiated by an American-Israeli strike on February 28. Iranian parliamentarian Mojtaba Zarei accused European leaders of being excluded from the funeral ceremony, calling Europe 'barbaric and wild.' Three of Khamenei's sons attended the funeral, but his fourth son, Mojtaba Khamenei—who inherited his father's position—did not appear publicly. It is unclear whether he will attend the planned mourning ceremonies scheduled through Thursday. Mojtaba Khamenei was injured in the attacks that killed his father and has remained absent from public view since then, communicating only through attributed internet statements. The reasons for his absence remain unknown, though speculation suggests concerns over further attacks or ongoing recovery.
