Jevdet Yilmaz, the deputy of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, attended the funeral of late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Tehran on Friday, according to a single report.
Turkish Deputy President Jevdet Yilmaz also attended the funeral of late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Tehran on Friday, according to a single unverified report. The report follows the earlier arrival of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, which The Zioneer documented at 00:06 Jerusalem. No official confirmation from Turkish or Iranian authorities has been published.
The Zioneer has been tracking the funeral since Friday morning. At 00:06 Jerusalem, we reported that the body of Khamenei and his family had arrived at the Mosalla complex, and that Iran said nearly 100 nations were sending delegations, including eight heads of state. The same bulletin confirmed the presence of Erdogan and the Azerbaijani parliament speaker. The ceremonies are set to continue for six days, concluding with burial in Mashhad.
As The Zioneer has reported, the funeral has drawn a wide range of international delegations, from Russia, China, and India to Arab states such as Egypt, Qatar, and Jordan. The event is seen as the largest public display of regime stability since the strike that killed Khamenei four months ago.
The report on Yilmaz's attendance remains unverified. Additionally, the question of succession persists: Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late leader, has not been seen at the ceremonies, and no successor has been named.
