The Iranian military's Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters issued a statement warning the US, Israel, and their allies against any 'miscalculation' during the funeral ceremonies for the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, threatening a harsh response to any aggression. The statement called for mass participation by Iranians in the funeral as a display of national unity.
Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters — the military's strategic command body — released a statement Thursday morning warring the US, Israel, and their allies against any 'miscalculation' during the funeral ceremonies for the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, threatening a harsh response to any aggression. The statement, reported by the Abu Ali Express channel which monitors Iranian media, called for mass Iranian participation in the funeral as a display of national unity, and reaffirmed the armed forces' full obedience to the new Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei.
The warning comes amid heightened Iranian sensitivity over the funeral period, with regime officials expressing concern that external actors might attempt to disrupt the ceremonies. As The Zioneer has reported, Tehran has completed preparations for a multi-city funeral procession culminating in burial in Mashhad, with conflicting reports on exact dates.
The Khatam al-Anbiya statement did not specify a concrete threat or change in military posture, and remains a declaratory warning at this stage. The bulletin is based on a single source.
