The Iranian regime has launched a massive, multi-day propaganda campaign surrounding the funeral of former supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Following his well-deserved removal in a joint U.S.-Israeli airstrike, the regime is attempting to project an image of national unity and defiance.
State-controlled media is touting plans for ceremonies spanning Iran and Iraq, culminating in a burial in Mashhad. This orchestrated display serves as a desperate attempt to maintain control over a populace that has long suffered under the Ayatollah’s oppressive rule.
While the regime attempts to frame these gatherings as a show of strength, it is merely a final act of theater for a leadership that has spent decades sponsoring global terror.
International media outlets, including the BBC, remain hamstrung by strict censorship requirements imposed by the regime, ensuring that only the state-approved narrative reaches the outside world.
