01 · THE DISPATCH

IRGC commander Ahmad Vahidi addressed the funeral ceremony of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Sunday morning, July 5, according to a report by Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). The content of Vahidi's remarks has not yet been detailed.

Vahidi, a central figure in Iran's military and political leadership, has been a key coordinator during the regime's period of transition following Khamenei's death, as previously reported by The Zioneer. The funeral, which has drawn large crowds in Tehran, has been a focal point for public displays of loyalty from senior IRGC figures throughout the week. A separate bulletin earlier in the week reported that an IRGC commander vowed revenge for Khamenei's death and threatened to 'wipe out the Zionists' at the same funeral.

Vahidi's specific statements, whether they contain new threats or policy direction, remain unconfirmed pending further reporting.
