Özet · AI üretimi

Pakistan Başbakanı Şahbaz Şerif ve Genelkurmay Başkanı Orgeneral Asım Münir, 28 Şubat'ta ABD-İsrail saldırısında öldürülen İran dini lideri Ayetullah Ali Hamaney'in Tahran'daki cenaze törenine katıldı. İlk olarak Dışişleri Bakanlığı tarafından 3-5 Temmuz'da İran ve Türkiye'yi kapsayacak bir ziyaret duyurulmuş, Başbakan ve beraberindeki heyet Cuma günü Tahran'a ulaşarak Büyük Mosalla'daki törende yer almıştı. Cenaze törenine çok sayıda yabancı devlet adamı, din adamı ve yetkili katıldı. Pakistan'ın üst düzey katılımı, iki ülke arasındaki yakın ilişkileri ve bölgesel dayanışmayı vurguladı. Dawn gazetesinin yayımladığı başyazıda, cenazenin İran halkını birleştirdiği ve ABD-İsrail'in İslam Cumhuriyeti'ni kırma girişiminin başarısız olduğu değerlendirmesi yer aldı. Hamaney'in öldürülmesi, bölgede gerilimi tırmandıran önemli bir olayken, cenaze töreni İran'ın direnç gösterisinin sembolü olarak yorumlandı. Pakistan'ın bu cenazeye en üst düzeyde iştiraki, diplomatik bir mesaj niteliği taşıyor. Başbakan Şerif'in planlanan programında Türkiye ziyareti de bulunuyor.

    FO says PM to visit Iran, Turkiye from July 3-5; to attend funeral of assassinated Iranian supreme leader

    Pakistan

    Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will visit Iran and Turkiye from July 3 to July 5, Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi confirmed on Thursday. Addressing a weekly briefing, Andrabi said that during his visit to Iran, the premier would participate in the funeral of late supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was assassinated in US-Israeli strikes on February 28. The FO spokesperson said PM Shehbaz will travel to Iran first for Khamenei’s funeral. Deputy PM and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, cabinet members and senior officials will accompany the premier on his visit. “The prime minister will convey condolences on behalf of the people and government of Pakistan to the Iranian leadership and the bereaved families while reaffirming solidarity with the brotherly nation in their hour of profound grief,” he said. PM Shehbaz will then visit Istanbul at the invitation of Turkiye’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Andrabi said. He added that the premier will “hold discussions on the entire gamut of bilateral relations with a special focus on giving impetus to bilateral trade and investment cooperation between the two brotherly countries”. “The leadership meeting will also reflect on issues concerning regional peace and security.” The prime minister will also address a business conference hosted by Pakistan to “spotlight Pakistan’s trade and investment potential in priority areas, including SEZs (special economic zones), energy, trade, IT and privatisation sectors”, Andrabi said. He noted that the conference would bring together leading Turkish businessmen and investors alongside senior officials, dignitaries and other distinguished participants from the business community. The FO spokesperson highlighted that PM Shehbaz’s visits to Iran and Turkiye “reflect Pakistan’s deep-rooted, historic, cultural and fraternal ties with the two brotherly nations”. Speaking about the US-Iran war, Andrabi noted that Islamabad has “stepped up its diplomatic engagement with key regional and international stakeholders as well as the principal interlocutors to facilitate earnest follow-up and implementation” of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding signed between the warring parties on June 18. He highlighted that “positive progress [was] made on issues related to the different aspects of the Islamabad MoU” during the US-Iran talks held in Doha on Tuesday, which continued into the morning. Andrabi affirmed that Pakistan will “continue to play a facilitative and mediatory role in the negotiation process along with our Qatari partners”. He recalled that in that regard, Dar also continued with “high-level consultations” as he spoke to several counterparts on the phone in recent days. More to follow

    CDF Munir arrives in Tehran for funeral of assassinated supreme leader Khamenei

    Pakistan

    Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir has arrived in Tehran to attend the funeral of supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was assassinated in a US-Israeli strike on February 28, state broadcaster PTV reports. CDF Munir was received by Iranian officials and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, who was already present in Tehran. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also departed for Iran to attend the funeral earlier in the day, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said. In a post on social media platform X, the PMO said the premier was accompanied by National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, Information Minister Attaullah Tarar, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, PPP Secretary General Nayyer Bukhari, and Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah. “The prime minister will express heartfelt condolences to the Iranian leadership and the bereaved families and reaffirm Pakistan’s complete solidarity with the brotherly Iranian nation in this hour of grief,” it said. The PMO said that after wrapping up his visit to Iran, the premier would proceed onward to Turkiye. Earlier, Senate Chairman Yousaf Raza Gilani arrived in Tehran with a high-level delegation to attend the funeral prayers and burial, state-run Pakistan Television (PTV) reported. Iranian officials received the Pakistani delegation upon its arrival in Tehran. China, Afghanistan and Iran’s neighbours in the Caucasus region have said they will also be sending representatives. The funeral ceremonies for the supreme leader will pass through a series of locations — from the seat of power in Tehran to the holy cities of Qom, Karbala, Najaf and finally Mashhad — that reflect the religious, political and ideological pillars of the Islamic republic. His funeral, initially delayed at the height of the Middle East war, is taking place as Iran and the US uphold a fragile ceasefire after signing the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding to halt the conflict. The US and Israel initiated a war against Iran with the initial strikes assassinating the supreme leader and his family members — his daughter, grandchild, son-in-law and daughter-in-law. Other senior Iranian military commanders were also assassinated during the strikes, including Ali Shamkhani, an adviser to Iran’s supreme leader. His public funeral will begin on Saturday, with his body lying in state at the colossal complex in central Tehran that hosts major Friday prayers, official ceremonies and religious gatherings. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said a massive public turnout at the funeral of late supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would serve as a “decisive” response to terrorism, violence and bullying, while demonstrating national unity, state broadcaster Press TV reported.

    PM Shehbaz, CDF Munir participate in Iran's assassinated supreme leader Khamenei's last rites

    Pakistan

    Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir participated in the last rites of Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was assassinated in a US-Israeli strike on February 28. Khamenei’s body arrived at Tehran’s Grand Mosalla on Friday ahead of his funeral. Apart from PM Shehbaz and CDF Munir, other foreign dignitaries, clerics, officials and mourners also paid their respects as the body lay in state in a vast hall. Photos showed mourners carrying Khamenei’s coffin, emblazoned with Iran’s tricolour flag, into the Grand Mosalla, one of the Islamic republic’s most important ceremonial venues. Others show crowds at a pre-funeral ceremony clad in black, as the coffin was set down against a backdrop of red flowers and white butterflies hanging in the air. Ahmad Vahidi, head of the Revolutionary Guards, the ideological arm of the military, made his first appearance since the start of the war in February, paying his respects at the coffin, Iranian media footage showed. He will lie in state for three days at the colossal Grand Mosalla, which has been draped in banners featuring images and quotes of Khamenei. Millions of people and a coterie of foreign dignitaries are expected to attend Saturday’s official ceremony for Khamenei. Representatives from around 30 countries are expected to attend the funeral, with people pouring in from neighbouring Iraq and Afghanistan. The bodies of his slain relatives will also be present.

    Iran’s resilience

    Pakistan

    THE funeral ceremonies for Iran’s assassinated supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his family members, which began in Tehran on Friday, are evidence that the joint US-Israeli endeavour to break the Islamic Republic has failed. If anything, their aggression has rallied Iranians, who appear prepared to defend their country from hostile external forces. The ayatollah’s funeral has attracted dignitaries from around the world; clearly, the attempt to isolate Iran has also failed. Millions of ordinary Iranians are expected to pay their respects to the late leader as the ceremonies continue over the next few days. Observers are of the view that the ceremonies could attract more mourners than those that participated in the last rites of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, founder of revolutionary Iran. Pakistan had sent a high-powered delegation, led by the prime minister and the chief of defence forces, indicating the importance Islamabad gives to ties with Tehran. Dignitaries from Russia, China, Saudi Arabia and nations around the world also paid their last respects. After Tehran, funeral ceremonies will be held in Qom, Iran’s spiritual heart, as well as the Iraqi holy cities of Najaf and Karbala. This indicates the transnational importance of the late Khamenei. Apart from being Iran’s supreme leader, he was also a marja-i-taqleed — a religious guide for millions across the world. He will be laid to rest in Mashhad, his birthplace, at the tomb of Imam Raza. The Trump administration, and its allies in Israel, thought that by wiping out the top echelon of Iran’s religious, military and political leadership they could make the Islamic Republic collapse. Instead, the war has unified a fractured nation and exposed, once again, the follies of external regime change experiments. Iran has faced, and continues to face, many internal problems. But these issues are best left to the Iranians themselves to deal with. The war has shown that foreign ‘saviours’ are not welcome; instead of greeting the attackers with flowers, the people have staunchly defended their homeland, while their participation in the late ayatollah’s funeral shows that despite deep internal political rifts, millions within the country had a strong bond with their leadership that transcended all divisions. Iran has shown that despite the assassinations of key state functionaries, its internal system is strong enough to quickly fill the positions, and not leave a power vacuum. New Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has not been seen publicly since the start of the war, yet he appears to be in control. The fate of the MoU with the US is still up in the air. However, instead of issuing fresh threats to Iran, the US would be advised to keep pursuing the diplomatic track, and abandon the goal of destroying the Islamic Republic.
