Day 127: Millions Mourn Khamenei in Tehran; Successor Mojtaba Khamenei Still Has Not Appeared Publicly

Millions attended funeral prayers for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and four family members killed alongside him on February 28. Mourners carried red 'revenge' flags outside Tehran's largest mosque, chanting 'Death to America, Death to Israel' — signaling hardened domestic sentiment even as diplomacy continued. Trump said he would show restraint during the funeral period. Successor Mojtaba Khamenei had still not appeared publicly since his ascension, fueling speculation about his health and injuries from the February 28 strike and questions over who was actually leading the country; his three other sons appeared at the funeral in his place.
