| Title | Behind Khamenei’s funeral, Iran’s bid to show strength | Source | France 24 - World News |
| Description | Ahou Koutchesfahani, scholar in international relations and Iran expert, analyses the funeral ceremonies for Ali Khamenei as a carefully orchestrated display of power by the Islamic Republic. The regime is seeking to send two messages: to its own population, by showcasing its control and ability to mobilise large crowds, and to the international community, by reinforcing the image of Khamenei as an anti-imperialist figure who stood up to the United States. Through these ceremonies, Tehran is also attempting to strengthen its narrative and rally support beyond its borders. | ||
