Mohamad Saf-Akmal bin Hamdan, a reporter for Malaysia's Astro Awani, told Iranian local media that his dream was to meet the late Supreme Leader, and described his killing as a 'global disaster' that is not a normal news story. The interview was part of the regime's use of foreign media for propaganda, according to a Telegram report.
Malaysian journalist Mohamad Saf-Akmal bin Hamdan, a reporter for the Astro Awani network, gave an interview to Iranian media Friday in which he praised the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, calling his elimination a 'global disaster' and saying his greatest dream as a journalist was to meet Khamenei.
The interview, reported by the source 301, is part of the Iranian regime's effort to use foreign media representatives and delegations arriving in Tehran for the funeral for internal and external propaganda, according to the report.
As The Zioneer has reported, the funeral ceremonies for the late Supreme Leader are set to begin Saturday, with millions expected to attend from Tehran alone. The burial is scheduled for July 9 in Mashhad.
