"This is unprecedented in Iran's recent history".

The article discusses the funeral ceremonies of Ayatollah Ali Chamenei in Iran, which are taking place several months after his death in February. The event is described as unprecedented in recent Iranian history by an Iranian specialist, Karolina Cieślik-Jakubiak. She notes that the timing of the ceremonies was chosen for safety reasons and aligns with the 40-day mourning period observed by Shia Muslims. The article mentions that Modżtaba Chamenei, Ali’s son, has not appeared publicly since his father’s death despite being present at the funeral. It also highlights the absence of major Western countries and European nations at the event, with only Georgia and Armenia represented. The article provides background on the significance of the event within Iran’s religious and political context.
