Khamenei Body Arrives in Tehran for Funeral

AFP, carried by BSS at 09:20 Bangladesh time and NAMPA at 06:00 UTC, reported that Ali Khamenei's body arrived at Tehran's Imam Khomeini Grand Mosalla ahead of the public funeral. Khamenei.ir's official committee schedule says the body will lie in state there on July 4-5, with a Tehran procession on July 6, Qom on July 7 and burial in Mashhad on July 9; Times of Israel and AP confirm the same Grand Mosalla and casket preparations. The regime is trying to turn Israel's successful strike on Iran's supreme leader into a mass-mobilization spectacle. Israel should watch the turnout, but read it as managed regime theater, not proof that Tehran has recovered strategic initiative.
