Iran has begun a multi-day state funeral for former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, nearly four months after he was killed in joint U.S.-Israeli airstrikes. Delegations from around 30 countries are attending the ceremonies, including a high-level Indian delegation. The funeral comes amid a fragile pause in hostilities across West Asia and is being closely watched for signals about Iran's future leadership and regional diplomacy. Attention is also focused on whether the country's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, will make a public appearance. #Iran #AliKhamenei #WestAsia
