The invitation to attend the funeral of Iran’s supreme leader provided The Washington Post with a rare opportunity to report from within the country. This marked The Post’s first presence in Iran since hostilities began.
The funeral for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed during U.S.-Israeli military actions in February, was meticulously arranged and drew large crowds in Tehran. The streets were filled with mourners paying their respects to the leader.
Many high-ranking Iranian officials were present, though Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the deceased leader and his successor, was notably missing from the event.
