Three children in Khamenei’s funeral, not only the successor Mojtaba, the question of existence again

A state funeral for the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is underway at the Imam Khomeini Grand Mosalla Complex in central Tehran. Many people are paying their respects to the former supreme leader of Iran. The absent successor is Mojtaba Khamenei. However, three other children joined the funeral on Sunday. In this situation, the question is raised again, is Mojat alive at all? Is he healthy even if he is alive?

Khamenei was killed in a joint attack by Iran and Israel on February 28. After 126 days, Iran organized his funeral in Tehran. Iran’s state television has seen the late Ali Khamenei’s children Mustafa, Messam and Masoud Khamenei. They were seen standing in prayer posture in front of their father’s coffin. Also seen at Ali Khamenei’s funeral were Iranian President Massoud Pezheshkian, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bakr Ghalibof and Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Ahmed Vahidio.

Besides Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, the martyred Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had three other sons—Mustafa, Masoud, and Meysam—who attended the farewell ceremony.

A televised video showed Ali Khamenei’s coffin draped in an Iranian flag. The black turban of the former supreme leader of Iran is placed on top of it. Coffins of four relatives are placed nearby; They were also killed in the February 28 attack. Ali Khamenei’s granddaughter was among them. It should be noted that Khamenei will be buried on July 9.

Meanwhile, Trump’s comments on Ali Khamenei’s funeral have sparked a new controversy. The US president commented, “The top leadership of Iran is all there. It is possible to take them all out with one shot. But we will not do that. Because then there will be no one else to talk to.” Protesting, the Iranian embassy in Armenia wrote on the X handle, ‘People can be killed but their ideals live on. In fact, you have broken a bottle of perfume that has spread its fragrance everywhere. But you will not understand them. Because civilization, history, honor – you have none.’
