Mojtaba Khamenei to skip his father, Ali Khamenei's, funeral over security concerns: Report

Iran's current Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, will skip his father's funeral due to Israeli threats, according to a representative. This follows a stern warning from Iran's Foreign Minister to the US, urging them to control Israel after its Defence Minister declared Mojtaba Khamenei marked for death. The US is reminded of its commitment to de-escalate tensions in West Asia, with any threats against Iran's leadership promising a swift, powerful response.
