Iran’s supreme leader bails on first day of late dad’s funeral ceremonies

Iran’s entire regime made a red carpet entrance to the first of three funeral ceremonies for late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei — except the dead ayatollah’s own son and successor.

Mojtaba Khamenei has not been seen or heard from since the Feb. 28 strike that killed his father, wife and child — with reports indicating that the younger Khamenei was seriously injured or even disfigured.

While public statements have been issued in Mojtaba Khamenei’s name since becoming supreme leader, concrete proof of life has been elusive.

The Post reported back in March that US intelligence assessed Mojtaba Khamenei as “probably gay” and briefed President Trump to that effect.
