Pakistan, described as a neutral mediator between Iran and the United States, held ceremonies yesterday in honor of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his successor Mojtaba Khamenei, according to the channel Abu Ali Express.
Pakistan, which has positioned itself as a neutral intermediary between Iran and the United States in ongoing diplomatic talks, held ceremonies yesterday to honor both the late Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, and his reported successor, Mojtaba Khamenei, according to Abu Ali Express.
The gesture underscores Pakistan's continued engagement with the Islamic Republic's leadership even as the succession is ongoing. As The Zioneer has previously reported, Pakistan's Foreign Minister recently traveled to Geneva for mediation talks between Iran and the U.S., and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stated that a 'final objective' in those talks is near.
The ceremonies are the first reported official commemoration of Mojtaba Khamenei by a foreign state since his emergence as the reported Supreme Leader following his father's death. It remains unclear whether the Pakistani events included senior Iranian diplomatic representation.
