Iran: Ali Khamenei buried amid renewed US-Iran conflict

Former Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was laid to rest in Mashhad early Tuesday, state television reported. Khamenei, who died at 86, was buried after multi-day ceremonies that unfolded as US-Iranian hostilities flared. The funeral rites occurred against a backdrop of renewed conflict, with US forces launching significant airstrikes across Iran. Tehran accused Washington of targeting civilian infrastructure to overshadow the funeral and deter participation. Iranian authorities reported damage to bridges and rail links, with casualties including 17 dead and 93 injured. The US Department of War denied striking targets in recent hours. Earlier, President Donald Trump declared a ceasefire "over" but left the door open for renewed negotiations. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office announced he had spoken with Trump about the US's "latest moves" in the Gulf. The Wall Street Journal reported that Israel shared intelligence with Washington alleging Iran planned to assassinate Trump. The escalation began Tuesday in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint, after Washington accused Tehran of attacking three commercial vessels, leading to a sharp decline in shipping traffic.
