Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Buried Amid Mixed Public Sentiments

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was buried at the Shrine of Imam Reza in Mashhad following a week of national mourning, attended by many officials and family members.
While the regime claims millions mourned Khamenei, many Iranians express apathy or frustration, viewing the funeral as a display of state power rather than genuine grief.
Mojtaba Khamenei, the presumed successor, has not made a public appearance since his father's death, raising questions about the regime's stability.
