[Analysis: Iran's Supreme Leader Remains Absent from Public View Amid Israeli Assassination Threats, Internal Divisions Intensify]
BlockBeats reports that on July 10, the late Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei was buried in Mashhad on July 9 local time. His eldest, third, and fourth sons attended the funeral, while the new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei remained 'invisible' due to security risks, refraining from participating in any public mourning or burial activities. Reports indicate that Mojtaba was previously injured in an airstrike and continues to face assassination threats from Israel. According to informed sources, he currently avoids using electronic devices and communicates with the outside world only through face-to-face meetings or couriers to prevent exposing his whereabouts.
Meanwhile, internal divisions in Iran over whether to continue negotiations with the United States are widening. Pragmatists advocate for negotiations to ease sanctions and economic pressure, while hardliners oppose compromising with the U.S. and openly criticize the negotiation team. Although Mojtaba has authorized the government to pursue a preliminary agreement with the U.S., the decision has sparked controversy within conservative factions. Analysts believe that Mojtaba's future choices regarding personnel appointments, U.S. policy, and security strategies will serve as a critical lens for observing Iran's power dynamics and foreign policy trajectory.
