An official Saudi delegation has arrived in Tehran to participate in the funeral ceremonies for the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, according to a report attributed to the Iranian news source Rega News circulating on Telegram. The delegation is led by Saudi Deputy Foreign Minister Waleed al-Khuraiji and includes representatives from the kingdom's Foreign Ministry. The surprising presence of senior Saudi envoys at the burial of the leader of its regional rival underscores the shifting dynamics in the Middle East following Khamenei's death.
