- Khamenei was laid to rest in Iran amid mass public grief after his death in a war involving the US and Israel, according to Reuters.
- Iran's new supreme leader had not been publicly identified as mourning for Khamenei continued, per CNN live updates.
Why it matters: Iran's supreme leader is dead during an active war with the US and Israel, and no successor has been named publicly, leaving a leadership vacuum at the conflict's most acute moment.
