A new report from the Iranian outlet Saberin says former presidents Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Hassan Rouhani, Mohammad Khatami, and former Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif did not attend the funeral ceremonies of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The funerals took place over the weekend.
A new report from the Iranian outlet Saberin, cited via the source monitored by The Zioneer, states that four senior political figures — former presidents Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Hassan Rouhani, Mohammad Khatami, and former Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif — did not attend the funeral ceremonies of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The Zioneer earlier reported (14:24 Jerusalem) that the same figures were absent from the funeral prayer, based on other Iranian media. The current report appears to corroborate a broader pattern of absence from the events surrounding Khamenei's burial, which took place on Friday and Saturday. The funerals drew significant international attention and highlighted internal divisions within the Iranian regime.
