Mojtaba Khamenei, son of Iran’s former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, will not attend his father’s funeral. This information has come out quoting Ayatollah Hakim Elahi, representative of the Iranian Supreme Leader. According to the representative of the Supreme Leader, this decision has been taken due to security reasons. The Al Jazeera report claims that Iranian security agencies fear an Israeli attack and have advised Mujtaba to stay away from the funeral ceremony.
However, no further official information has been given in this matter yet. According to Al Jazeera’s report, Ayatollah Hakim Elahi, representative of the Iranian Supreme Leader, said that this decision has been taken from security point of view. Because even though a peace agreement has been signed with America, there is still a feeling of deep distrust between the two sides. At the same time, tension still remains with Israel. Elahi said that apart from Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, people from all over Iran and the world are expected to participate in this program. Strict security arrangements have been made in Iran regarding this.
Strict security arrangements from ground to sky
Iranian army spokesman Brigadier General Mohammad Akarminiya has announced strict security measures. The security of the country’s land borders has been greatly strengthened by the deployment of additional army troops. The Air Defense Force will constantly keep an eye on the country’s airspace and will exercise special control over all foreign flights. The army is mobilizing all its resources to conduct the last rites in a grand and dignified manner.
