IRGC head and Quds Force commander attend funeral prayers for Khamenei

Shiite cleric Ayatollah Jafar Sobhani leads a funeral prayer at Tehran’s Grand Mosalla for late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his family members.

Also in attendance are Khamenei’s sons Masoud, Meysam and Mostafa, as well as Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf and Revolutionary Guard head Gen. Ahmad Vahidi. Also there was Esmail Qaani, who leads the Guard’s expeditionary Quds Force.

But not attending was Iran’s new supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, another of Khamenei’s sons. He’s believed to be in hiding after reportedly being wounded in the airstrike that killed his father. Israel has threatened to kill him as well.
