BlockBeats News, July 10th — Iran's late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was buried in Mashhad on July 9th local time. His eldest, third, and fourth sons attended the funeral, while the newly appointed Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei continued to remain "invisible" due to security risks, refraining from publicly participating in any mourning or burial activities.

Reports indicate that Mojtaba was previously injured in an airstrike and continues to face assassination threats from Israel. Sources reveal that he now barely uses electronic devices, relying only on face-to-face interactions or messengers to communicate with the outside world to avoid exposing his whereabouts.

Meanwhile, internal disagreements within Iran over whether to continue negotiations with the United States are escalating. The pragmatists advocate for negotiations to ease sanctions and economic pressure, while the hardliners oppose any compromise with the U.S. and openly criticize the negotiating team. Although Mojtaba has authorized the government to proceed with a preliminary agreement with the U.S., the decision has sparked internal disputes among the conservative camp.

Analysts believe that Mojtaba's future decisions on personnel appointments, the U.S. policy, and security strategy will serve as a critical window to observe Iran's power structure and the trajectory of its foreign policy.
