Tehran is set to hold the funeral procession for Iran’s former supreme leader Ali Khamenei today, with millions anticipated to take part. The procession follows a two-day public farewell ceremony that drew thousands of mourners to the capital.

Separately, Israeli forces carried out air strikes on Nabatieh in southern Lebanon. The attacks come despite a US-brokered agreement signed last month to end hostilities between Israel and Lebanon.

The developments highlight rising tensions in the region, where Iran’s internal political shift intersects with Israeli military operations. No immediate casualty or damage reports from Lebanon have been released.
