TEHRAN, Iran — A powerful Iranian general not seen in public for months has been photographed at a service for slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as the country prepared for the late leader's sweeping dayslong funeral.
Long-delayed funeral ceremonies for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, killed during U.S.-Israeli strikes at the war's outset, are set to begin Friday. For the regime, it is a critical moment to demonstrate that it has endured.
