01 · THE DISPATCH

Dr. Younes Hamami Lalehzar, a prominent leader of Iran's Jewish community, participated in the funeral of late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Friday as part of an official delegation of religious leaders, a Persian-language the source reports. The image shows him present at the ceremony alongside other dignitaries.

This follows the earlier report that Homayoun Sameh, the Jewish representative in the Iranian parliament, stated the community participated in the funeral and that he sent a letter to Mojtaba Khamenei after anti-Jewish statements in Iranian media. It also comes amid the larger funeral proceedings, with senior regime officials attending the front row and delegations from over 100 countries arriving.

The specific role and status of Dr. Hamami Lalehzar within the delegation have not been detailed beyond the initial report.
