Security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported on X that Mojtaba Khamenei has published a message thanking Iraq, following earlier reports that he would do so. The full text of the message has not yet been released; Goldblatt indicated it would be shared in a reply.
Security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported on X (formerly Twitter) at 22:44 Jerusalem time that Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, has published a message thanking Iraq. The report comes less than an hour after Goldblatt had cited Iranian reports indicating that Khamenei would issue such a message (as The Zioneer reported at 21:55). The message is widely understood to express gratitude for Iraq's role in hosting the funeral of Ali Khamenei, which took place earlier this week. Goldblatt noted that the full text of the message is lengthy and would be posted in a reply to his initial report. The content of the message has not been independently verified. The publication of the thank-you message marks a further diplomatic gesture between Iran and Iraq following the transition of leadership in Iran.
