Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced that he will travel to Tehran next week to pay respects to the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and express Pakistan's solidarity with Iran. The funeral procession for Khamenei is scheduled to begin across Iran on July 4.
Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif confirmed plans to visit Tehran next week to attend the funeral ceremonies of the late Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and express solidarity with Iran, according to statements circulating in Israeli media-monitoring channels. Sharif said he would pay respects to Khamenei and meet the new Supreme Leader. The announcement follows Sharif's earlier claim that he received a personal invitation from Mojtaba Khamenei, as The Zioneer reported earlier today. The funeral procession for Khamenei is scheduled to begin across Iran on July 4, with burial in Mashhad set for July 9. One source accompanying the post noted the image appeared to originate from Iranian opposition channels, introducing uncertainty about the precise provenance of the statement. The visit would make Sharif the first foreign leader to publicly confirm travel to Tehran for the funeral.
