A senior general from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has recently reappeared in Tehran as preparations intensify for the funeral rites of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. State media in Iran provided photographs showing General Ahmad Vahidi participating in a meeting related to the 86-year-old leader, and subsequently being seen near his coffin. General Vahidi’s public reappearance is notable, as he had not been visible in public view for several weeks preceding the escalation of conflict in the region.
Sources suggest that the general maintains connections with a select circle within the current supreme leadership structure. This group reportedly includes Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, who is currently believed to be in hiding following reports of Israeli attacks that allegedly resulted in the death of the former leader during the early stages of the war. The movement of the general underscores the ongoing political activity within Iran as the nation prepares to honor the passing of Ayatollah Khamenei.
His visibility in the capital suggests continued engagement among key figures associated with the regime’s inner circle. The focus remains on the transition of leadership and the state’s handling of the funeral arrangements amidst the ongoing geopolitical tensions impacting the country.
