- Khamenei's three sons appeared at a mass funeral in Tehran, but his designated successor was conspicuously absent — a detail noted across CNN, CNBC, and Al Jazeera coverage.
- Al Jazeera's "Iran war live" blog reported millions mourning Khamenei while noting Trump is hinting at a Netanyahu meeting.
Why it matters: With Al Jazeera covering the mourning under its "Iran war live" blog and CNN and CNBC describing Khamenei as "slain," the conspicuous absence of his designated successor from the funeral leaves Iran's leadership transition unclear — and Trump is already hinting at a Netanyahu meeting amid the crisis.
