Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, other world leaders to attend Khamenei's funeral
Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf told Iranians to "rise up" and "demand revenge" during a speech on Thursday at the funeral
Assessment
This report signals an escalation in regional tensions as a Pakistani leader plans to attend a major funeral in Iran, while an Iranian official calls for public vengeance. The call for revenge from a senior figure at such a high-profile event could galvanize popular sentiment and pressure the government's next moves. The attendance of foreign leaders also internationalizes what might otherwise be a domestic loss, widening the diplomatic stakes.
