- Mojtaba Khamenei has been named the new Supreme Leader following his father's death in a late February attack by the US and Israel, though he remains out of public view amid reports he was also wounded.
- Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev paid respects on July 3, joining delegations from 12 countries including Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
- Representatives of Tehran-backed militant groups including Hezbollah and Hamas attended prayers on Saturday, meeting with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, France24 reported.
