Last update: 7 hours agoIran Funeral Diplomacy: Iran kicked off a six-day public mourning for slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Tehran, with the coffin lying in state at Imam Khomeini’s Mosalla and crowds chanting “Death to America” and “Revenge,” as authorities shut streets and tighten security; the ceremonies run through July 9 with stops planned in Qom, Najaf and Karbala before burial in Mashhad, while foreign leaders—including Iraqi President Nizar Amedi and Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani—attend. US-Iran Tensions: US President Trump claimed Washington paused Iran talks for a week to allow the funeral, as Iran warns against any US-Israeli aggression during the rites. Regional Security: In Iraq, the Counter Terrorism Service killed an alleged ISIS militant in an operation north of Kirkuk, part of ongoing clearance efforts against remnants. Energy/Trade Watch: Gulf oil exports rose in June as shipping through the Strait of Hormuz improved, though flows remain below pre-war levels—an issue Iran is also using in its broader regional posture. Local Governance & Culture: Baghdad is pushing a cinema revival, aiming to rebuild Iraq’s film industry after years of conflict and neglect.
