The Islamic Republic has entered a period of intense, collective mourning. Heartbreaking scenes emerged from Tehran's Grand Mosalla on Friday as senior political figures, elite military commanders, and foreign dignitaries gathered to bid an emotional farewell to the late Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Key members of Khamenei’s inner circle—including Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Judiciary Chief Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei—were seen breaking down in tears as prayers echoed through the black-flag-lined venue. Placed solemnly alongside the larger caskets was the tiny, heartbreaking coffin of his 14-month-old granddaughter, Zahra Mohammadi Golpayegani.
