Mojtaba Khamenei to skip his father, Ali Khamenei’s, funeral over security concerns: Report
Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojataba Khamenei will not attend the funeral ceremonies for his father, former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, due to security concerns, according to the current leader’s representative in India, Ayatollah Hakim Elahi.
Elahi attributed the decision to Israeli threats and surveillance risks that would make public attendance dangerous.
Earlier on Wednesday (July 1, 2026), Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi issued a sharp warning to the United States, urging President Donald Trump to “muzzle its pets” in Israel after Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said that Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was “marked for death”.
