   Iran struck three commercial vessels near the Strait of Hormuz on July 7, and the US responded with strikes on more than 80 Iranian targets and reimposed sanctions, the largest exchange since the January ceasefire. The escalation came while Mojtaba remained absent from the Qom stage of the funeral, with prayers at the Jamkaran Mosque proceeding without the new supreme leader. Iranian state media made no connection between the military escalation and Mojtaba's governance absence; the constitutional interim council was not publicly convened to authorise the Hormuz operation, raising questions about who gave the operational order. ↗

   World leaders confirmed in attendance at the Tehran procession included Russia's former president Dmitry Medvedev, Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Iraq's President, Afghanistan's Foreign Minister, a Hamas delegation, Turkey's Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz, Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Georgian President Mikheil Kavelashvili and Tajik President Emomali Rahmon. Putin, Xi Jinping and Erdogan did not attend personally. Representatives from more than 100 countries were present; Western governments sent no delegations. The funeral moves to Qom on July 7 (prayers at the Jamkaran Mosque), Iraq's Najaf and Karbala on July 8, then back to Iran for burial at the Imam Reza shrine in Mashhad on July 9, the city of Khamenei's birth. Qatar and Pakistan mediators separately confirmed that US and Iranian negotiators made 'positive progress' at Doha technical talks before pausing for the funeral period, and that the next round of talks is set to resume approximately July 11; the Islamabad venue was reported by [your]NEWS citing Qatar, but has not been confirmed by either Washington or Tehran. ↗

   Mojtaba Khamenei was absent for a third consecutive day as the main Tehran procession began July 6 at 6 a.m. local time, with millions attending the coffin's movement along the 10 km route from Imam Hossein Square to Azadi Square. Iranian authorities gave no indication Mojtaba would appear at the subsequent Qom, Mashhad or Iraq stages of the funeral (July 7-9). His continued absence is now the defining story of the funeral: no sitting supreme leader in the history of the Islamic Republic has been invisible for 130 days. The NPR June 29 report noted that Mojtaba's representative to India told media that he would not attend 'for security reasons,' the first quasi-official acknowledgment of the reason from anyone connected to him. President Trump stated on July 4 that Iran was 'dying to settle,' reinforcing US confidence that the nuclear talks will resume after July 9; the talks are being conducted by Iranian Foreign Ministry professionals rather than by the supreme leader's office directly. ↗
