Iran has begun a week of mass funeral events for the slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The ceremony includes the leader being laid in state in Tehran. This occurs months after strikes involving the U.S. and Israel.

Coverage from The Economist, DW, and AP News emphasizes that the regime intends to use the funeral as a show of power. However, The Times of Israel reports that some Iranians will avoid the ceremony, while The Times of India suggests that a low-profile guest list involving Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis reveals Iran's isolation. Attention is now on the attendance of Pakistan's Prime Minister Sharif, a mediator between the U.S. and Iran.

Additionally, the U.S. has agreed to halt talks with Iran for one week as the funeral proceedings begin.
