The timing, coinciding with the anniversary of American independence, and the sight of red banners symbolizing vengeance, underscore the charged political atmosphere. Khamenei’s body, displayed in a glass casket, sparked chants of “death to America” as mourners, many traveling miles, prepare for a national procession to Qom and eventual burial in Mashhad. His son and successor, Mojtaba Khamenei — reportedly wounded in the same strikes that killed his father and other family members — has remained conspicuously absent. International observers, including Pakistan’s Prime Minister and a Russian envoy, are present as Tehran warns the U.S. and Israel to avoid miscalculations amid heightened regional tensions.
