A powerful military figure who commands Iran’s elite paramilitary Revolutionary Guard has suddenly emerged from hiding as the Islamic Republic prepares a massive, dayslong funeral ceremony for the late Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Photographs broadcasted across Iranian state media networks confirmed that General Ahmad Vahidi attended a high-level logistical meeting coordinating the funeral arrangements before being filmed sitting directly alongside the late leader's casket.
A private mourning service was held on Thursday night near the former compound of the 86-year-old cleric in downtown Tehran.
General Vahidi had completely vanished from the public eye since February 8, weeks prior to the explosive eruption of the ongoing US-Israeli war with Iran.
International intelligence analysts emphasize that Vahidi has now reassumed an indispensable operational role in crafting Iran's hardline diplomatic terms for any potential permanent ceasefire with Western forces.
"Vahidi is believed to be part of a small clique in direct contact with Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, who remains in hiding after being reportedly wounded in the February 28 Israeli strikes that killed his father," regional security experts confirmed.
The late Supreme Leader and several immediate family members were killed during the devastating opening salvos of the military conflict.
State television showed massive crowds of black-clad mourners gathering at the Grand Mosalla in Tehran, where security forces carried the coffins of the deceased leader and his 14-month-old granddaughter, Zahra Mohammadi Golpayegani.
Starting Saturday, the casket—draped in a symbolic red "Ya Hussein" flag representing spilled blood and vengeance—will be transported across major municipal centers in both Iran and neighboring Iraq.
Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, US President Donald Trump capitalized on the geopolitical chaos, taking to his Truth Social platform to heavily criticize the United States' "one-sided" fiscal relationship with NATO, questioning Western resource allocation just a week before the transatlantic alliance's upcoming security summit in Ankara.
