Absence of world leaders at Khamenei’s funeral; the presence of regional allies was limited

🔺World leaders absent from Khamenei’s funeral; the government’s “international showcase” was limited to the presence of regional allies ▪Despite 125 days passing since the killing of Ali Khamenei until the start of the funeral ceremony in Tehran, the Islamic Republic has only reported the presence of eight heads of state or government— a figure that, compared with official ceremonies of widely recognized world leaders, indicates the Iranian government’s diplomatic isolation.
