Live updates: Three of Khamenei’s sons join mass mourning in Tehran, but not his successor
Iran’s state funeral for Khamenei turns into a rally—with a pointed absence and a call for vengeance
What happened
Coverage highlights chants of ‘revenge’ among mourners, while the designated successor was not present at the proceedings. Euronews reports a eulogist explicitly called for the death of former U.S.
President Donald Trump during the service. The New York Times and Le Monde note the scale of attendance, with prayers continuing into a second day, while NPR frames the event as a rare public display of national unity under grief.
Watch for further details on the successor’s absence and whether the eulogist’s remarks will escalate tensions. Coverage may also track reactions from regional powers or Trump’s camp, though no statements have been attributed yet.
