TL;DR

According to a report by journalist Ganem Ibrahim, the sons of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei — except his successor Mojtaba — were near his coffin during funeral events in Tehran this morning. The report does not specify which sons were present, but follows prior coverage that three attended the eulogy earlier this week.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Journalist Ganem Ibrahim reported this morning that Khamenei's sons — all except his designated successor and fourth son, Mojtaba — were present near the late Supreme Leader's coffin during the funeral ceremonies in Tehran.

As The Zioneer reported earlier this week, three of the four sons — Mostafa, Masoud, and Meysam — attended the eulogy ceremony on Sunday morning. Mojtaba Khamenei, who succeeded his father as Supreme Leader, was absent from that event as well, according to the same reports. The current report aligns with that pattern but does not specify which of the three brothers were near the coffin, nor does it provide additional details about the funeral arrangements or the attendance of foreign dignitaries.

The report is attributed to a single journalist and has not been independently corroborated by official Iranian sources or state media.
