Iran Delays Khamenei's Funeral Four Months, Keeps Death Secret

Iran buried its top leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, on July 7—nearly four months after he died in March. Officials won't say how he died or who was responsible, using language that hints at assassination. The long delay suggests disagreement over who leads next, or security concerns. Over 100 countries attended the funeral, treating it as legitimate despite the mystery.
