While the United States was busy throwing a huge birthday party this weekend, Iran was busy staging and preparing a week-long funeral for the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The old despot has been dead for a while, but the funeral was on hold while there was a war on. Months later, we are learning who exactly is kissing Iranian ass by showing up to this funeral.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, a key mediator in the U.S.-Iran talks to end the war, joined mourners on the first day of the multiday funeral ceremonies for the slain Iranian leader.
Pakistan’s interior minister also arrived in Tehran, while a slate of top Iranian officials attended Friday’s ceremonies, including President Masoud Pezeshkian, Speaker of the Parliament Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, Head of the Judiciary Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Eje’i and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
Leaders from countries across the globe — including Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Cuba and Serbia — were also present in Tehran to pay their respects.
Dmitry Medvedev, Russia’s former president and deputy chair of its Security Council, is also expected to attend the ceremony Friday, according to the Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov.
Delegations from China, Namibia, Afghanistan and Turkmenistan met with Iran’s president in Tehran for the ceremonies. An official delegation from India was also in attendance, as well as Turkmenistan National Leader Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow.
The Iranian government praised the foreign officials for their “solidarity against recent US-Zionist aggressions” and referred to Khamenei as a “martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution,” seeking to portray the longtime supreme leader as a beloved and respected figure.
You know who is swallowing this bullshit wholesale? Calla Walsh. Remember her? The pampered radical princess of the left who is whiter than printer paper, who broke with the Democratic Socialists of America years ago because she thought they didn’t hate Jews enough, has now moved to Lebanon and is busy cosplaying an Islamic Handmaid’s Tale fantasy on Iranian TV. So of course, she is in Iran for the funeral.
