Iranian Security Forces Block Muqtada Khamenei from Father's Funeral Over Assassination Fears

What was said

"Iranian security officials have so far opposed the plan, fearing Israel could attempt to assassinate him at the ceremony or use his appearance to track his current location."

According to New York Times reporting citing IRGC members, Muqtada Khamenei wanted to attend his father's burial on July 9th and personally recite the funeral prayer, but Iranian security blocked it. Officials fear Israel would use the appearance to track his location and assassinate him later. Larry Johnson believes Khamenei will make a physical appearance despite security concerns, noting both Iranian and Pakistani intelligence sources confirm legitimate threats.
