Security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported Sunday evening that during the funeral of Ali Khamenei in Tehran, a sign was displayed in Hebrew bearing the message: 'We Shiites will punish the murderers of our leader.' Goldblatt, who has been covering the funeral proceedings, described the sign as part of a broader effort by Iranian authorities to project strength and popular support during the mourning period. He noted that Iranian state media have been working intensively to document every show of support, including the arrival of senior officials from allied organizations and countries last Friday. The sign, written in Hebrew, appears to be a direct message to Israel. The funeral is ongoing, and the display has not been independently verified.
