Iran's ritualised mass mourning and what the cameras are not showing

As Iran stages Khamenei's multi-day funeral as the dawn of a 'new world order,' the cameras pointed at Jamkaran Mosque are pointed away from a struck vessel off Oman and a Strait of Hormuz running at a quarter of its normal traffic.

Desk note: Monexus treats Iranian state-aligned outlets as legitimate primary sources, with explicit framing caveats, rather than as either neutral wire copy or pure propaganda. This piece reads Tasnim as a state-adjacent channel acting as editor of the frame, not as a passive camera. The same footage will appear across the international wires within hours; the analytical register here is what the wires will quietly strip out.
