The funeral Tehran staged, and the message it sent

A million mourners in Tehran, a cortege rerouted through Qom, and a regime that turned a funeral into a doctrine. The 6 July Khamenei farewell was a state performance with a foreign-policy brief.

Desk note: Monexus read the wire as a two-channel signal, Iranian-aligned sources framing the cortège as doctrinal succession, Western wires framing it as institutional handover, and treated the funeral itself as the political event, not the politics that follows it.
