A single source reported Thursday that Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, did not attend the farewell ceremony and funeral of his wife last night. The report, published by an Arabic-language channel, has not been corroborated by any official Iranian source or independent media. As The Zioneer reported on Wednesday, an Iranian economic activist had claimed that Mojtaba Khamenei would attend his father's funeral; however, that claim was also single-source and unverified. The current report is distinct and has not been confirmed. The reason for his absence is not stated in the report, and it remains unclear whether it signifies any political or personal development.
