TL;DR

01 · THE DISPATCH

A delegation of family members of slain Hezbollah leaders Hassan Nasrallah and Imad Mughniyeh arrived in Tehran on Friday to pay their respects to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, according to Abu Ali Express. The source reported that the delegation modeled 'respectful tears' during the meeting with Khamenei.

This follows earlier reports that Nasrallah's son attended Khamenei's funeral alongside foreign dignitaries, as The Zioneer reported at 09:43 Jerusalem. The funeral ceremonies, which began Friday morning, have drawn delegations from across the region, including from Lebanon's Amal movement, the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces (al-Hashd al-Shaabi), and Kata'ib Hezbollah Iraq, as The Zioneer reported at 11:13 Jerusalem. Khamenei's body has been lying in state as millions prepare for the final burial.

The gesture by the Nasrallah and Mughniyeh families underscores the close ties between Hezbollah and the Iranian leadership, particularly during the mourning period for the late Supreme Leader. The meeting's tone—described as emotional—was part of a broader show of solidarity from the Axis of Resistance. No further details on the delegation's length of stay or any meetings with senior Iranian officials have been reported.
