הלוויה בת שבוע של המנהיג העליון לשעבר של איראן, עלי חמינאי, מתחילה את היום השני בטהרן

הערכה

The funeral process for Iran's former supreme leader, already marked by anti-American and anti-Israeli chants, is a multi-day, multi-city event that deliberately connects Iran to Shi'ite centers in Iraq. This signals an effort to reinforce religious and political unity across the Shi'ite world during a leadership transition. Observers should watch for any public statements from Iranian officials about succession and for the scale of attendance in Qom, Najaf, and Kerbala.
