Araghchi-Qalibaf Glance Fuels Iran Succession Talk
Maariv updated at 19:10 IDT that a short video from Ali Khamenei's funeral spread across Iranian and regional social media because it appeared to show a tense glance between Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf. Earlier Maariv briefs at 18:31, 19:05, 19:08 and 19:10 described the clip as prompting thousands of reactions and speculation about mistrust inside Iran's ruling elite. The observable fact is the viral funeral footage and the identified officials; the succession reading is reported analysis, not a proven power move. For Israel, visible regime anxiety after Khamenei's killing matters because Tehran's nuclear diplomacy, proxy warfare and internal succession fight are now intertwined.
