Tehran's Farewell and the Limits of a Martyrdom Narrative
Tehran's state channels staged two registers of mourning on 5 July 2026. The martyrdom script is real personnel infrastructure. It also has visible fraying points, and the broadcast day maps them.

Desk note: Monexus reports what the Islamic Republic's own channels are broadcasting on 5 July 2026, the early security-staging visuals and the documentary-arm elegy, without crediting those channels as authority. The Western wire template on Iranian succession tends to flatten grief into theatre. This piece holds both the choreography and its limits in view.
