Hassan Nasrallah's son is reported to be attending the funeral of late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Tehran, according to a single source. The ceremony began this morning with delegations including the president of Armenia and the speaker of Egypt's Senate.
The funeral ceremonies for the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, underway in Tehran this morning since 09:34 Jerusalem, now include the reported participation of the son of the late Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, according to a single unverified report circulating in Israeli monitoring channels. The report states Nasrallah's son is attending alongside foreign delegations that include the president of Armenia and the speaker of Egypt's Senate.
As The Zioneer reported on Thursday Jul 2, 11:33 Jerusalem, Iranian officials expected delegations from some 100 countries, with a high-level ceremony at 14:00. The funeral schedule was first detailed Thursday evening with public mourning from 08:00 to noon and a separate diplomatic ceremony. On Wednesday Jul 1, 23:35 Jerusalem, The Zioneer published a list of foreign leaders attending, which included the presidents of Armenia, Tajikistan, Iraq, Georgia, and Turkmenistan, as well as top envoys from Russia (Dmitry Medvedev), Pakistan (PM Shehbaz Sharif), Turkey (VP Cevdet Yılmaz), and the Taliban's prime minister. The report about Nasrallah's son was not part of that list.
Background context: The Zioneer reported on Wednesday Jun 10 that Iran's vice president said neighboring countries had requested to send over 1 million mourners, though capacity limitations were noted. The funeral itself is the culmination of a week of mourning following the February 28 strike that killed Khamenei and family members.
The report about Nasrallah's son remains a single-source claim, unverified by independent sources. The Zioneer has not been able to corroborate the attendance from other channels.
