A Funeral in Tehran, and the Global South's Quiet Queue to Pay Respects

Desk note: The wire read the day's events as clerical succession. Monexus read them as a diplomatic queue: each condolence treated as a separate data point, the Telegram feed as choreography, and the Tehran-aligned editorial line ("a new world order") as the framing Tehran wants to export through the funeral's optics.
