Iran Offers Perks to Pack Khamenei Funeral Crowds

Times of Israel carried Reuters at 14:29 IDT, after JPost's 13:33 update, saying Iranian authorities plan to mobilize millions for Ali Khamenei's days-long funeral by offering transport, food and lodging to buoy turnout. JPost and Reuters syndications say mourners at Tehran's Grand Mosalla chanted Death to America and revenge, while Mojtaba Khamenei has still not appeared in new images since the strike that wounded him. The Independent says the regime hopes crowds will hide cracks after the U.S.-Israeli war. For Israel, the perk-driven turnout is not organic strength; it is a nervous terror regime staging devotion around a dead patron of proxies.
