Desk note: Monexus reads Barzani's Tehran trip as a continuity signal rather than a one-off courtesy visit, drawing on Iranian state-aligned outlets for the ceremonial record and reading them against the structural backdrop of the post-Khamenei opening, not the wires' own framing of the funeral as a purely domestic rite of passage.
