Hezbollah's deputy political council chairman arrived in Tehran on Friday to participate in the funeral of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, according to a single source. The official joins a series of Hezbollah-affiliated delegations and foreign dignitaries attending the ceremonies.
A single source reported on Friday evening that the deputy chairman of Hezbollah's political council in Lebanon managed to reach Tehran this morning and attend the funeral of late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The report provides no further details on the official's identity, schedule, or whether he met with Iranian leadership during his visit.
The arrival extends the pattern of Hezbollah delegations traveling to Tehran for the funeral ceremonies this week. As The Zioneer reported earlier Friday, relatives of slain Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Imad Mughniyeh paid respects in Tehran, and the son of Nasrallah was also present alongside foreign dignitaries. The Hezbollah political council is the organization's senior decision-making body, and the presence of its deputy chief signals the importance Iran's ally places on the funeral. No further corroboration of the report was available.
