Iran’s slain leader Khamenei laid in state in Tehran for week of mass funeral events

Support for the clerical leadership is paper thin, analysts say, and the new Supreme Leader, Khamenei’s son Mojtaba Khamenei, has not been seen in public since being wounded in the strike that killed his father.

The body of Iran’s slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was lying in state in a vast hall in Tehran on Friday as clerics, officials, foreign dignitaries and other mourners paid their respects ​after his 37-year rule.
