A hundred delegations in Tehran: the choreography of grief as statecraft
Representatives of more than a hundred countries have converged on a Tehran mosque to pay respects to Iran's slain supreme leader. The pageantry is doing diplomatic work that summits rarely can.

Desk note: Monexus is foregrounding the Iranian state framing of the funeral because that is the information environment in which the event is being staged. Where independent wire confirmation of attendance is absent, this piece says so rather than papering over the gap.
