A funeral for Khamenei in Tehran, attended by an Iranian summit without Mojtaba

In Tehran, mourning ceremonies continued for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the former Supreme Leader who was killed in Israeli-American attacks at the end of February. The ceremonies took place at the grand mosque in Tehran, attended by family members of the deceased and representatives of the Iranian leadership. Khamenei's son and successor, Mojtaba, was not present. On the second day of official mourning, prayers were held at a large religious complex in Tehran, led by the prominent Shia cleric Ayatollah Jafar Sobhani. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, influential parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, and General Esmail Qanbari, head of the Kuds Force, were among those present. Revolutionary Guard commander Ahmad Vahidi, who has largely avoided public appearances since the start of the war against Iran, was also there. According to footage broadcast by Iranian state television, three of Khamenei's sons—Masud, Mostafa, and Meysam—participated in the prayers, but Mojtaba, who succeeded Khamenei as Supreme Leader, was absent. Since being named Supreme Leader after his father's death, Mojtaba has not appeared publicly. He is believed to have been injured in the American-Israeli袭击
