Iran's New Leader Didn't Show Up to His Father's Funeral

Mojtaba Khamenei took over as Iran's top religious and political leader after his father died four months ago. When his father's six-day funeral happened across multiple cities, Mojtaba didn't attend any of it—not a single ceremony or prayer. His brothers showed up. He didn't. This breaks with how Iran usually does things and raises questions about whether the transfer of power is as stable as it appears.
