Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s funeral is held on Friday, with most foreign officials and dignitaries paying respects. Multiple reports say Hezbollah and Hamas members meet with Iran’s senior diplomat Ali Araghchi at the ceremony. Khamenei ruled Iran from 1989 until his death at age 86, which is reported to have occurred after a US-Israeli strike on February 28. The reports also say Khamenei is killed alongside several family members and senior Iranian officials. The ceremony draws international attention, with diplomatic contacts occurring alongside the public mourning. While the outlets describe the presence and meeting between Araghchi and representatives linked to Hezbollah and Hamas, they do not provide further details on the agenda, timing, or outcomes of the meeting. The reporting is framed around the funeral events and the broader regional diplomatic signaling associated with the attendance of foreign figures and Iran-linked contacts.
