Iran Postpones Khamenei Funeral as US-Israeli Bombardment Continues

Iranian authorities have postponed the state funeral for Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, citing the need to prepare infrastructure for the large three-day ceremony at Tehran's Grand Mosalla prayer complex. An official said there had been overwhelming requests from people wishing to attend and the event, initially set to begin Wednesday night, will be rescheduled. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that a U.S. submarine sank an Iranian navy frigate in the Indian Ocean off Sri Lanka, with at least 80 bodies recovered from the vessel. Iran has continued retaliatory strikes on Israel and Gulf states hosting U.S. military bases.
