Iran: Khamenei funeral, oil supply risks
Millions of mourners have flooded the streets of Tehran for the funeral of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a US-Israeli airstrike on February 28. The massive procession, encouraged by the regime as a show of unity, saw crowds carrying signs calling for revenge against US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The official period of mourning runs until Thursday, when Khamenei will be buried in Mashhad. His son and successor, Mojtaba Khamenei, remains absent from public view, reportedly wounded in the same attack. The funeral comes as Iran and the US are engaged in negotiations to end the war, with key issues including the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital oil and gas route that Iran has virtually closed. DW English is the only outlet to explicitly link the funeral to oil supply risks, noting that talks are on hold until after the mourning period. Other outlets focus on the scale of the crowds, the calls for vengeance, and the political implications of Mojtaba Khamenei's absence.

Conclusion
The funeral of Ali Khamenei serves as a powerful display of public mourning and political messaging, but the oil supply risks highlighted by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz remain a critical global concern.

The absence of the new supreme leader and the ongoing negotiations add uncertainty to the region's stability.

Crowd size estimates
| Outlet | Claim |
|---|---|
| DW English | No precise number given, but describes 'millions'. |
| Il Sole 24 Ore | Estimates 15-20 million participants in Tehran. |
| Clarín Argentina | States 'millions' without specific figure. |
- Only DW English mentions the Strait of Hormuz and oil supply risks, an important global implication.
- No outlet provides independent crowd estimates; all rely on Iranian state media.
- The impact of the prolonged war on ordinary Iranians is largely absent from coverage.
The funeral coverage is extensive but uneven in its attention to global consequences. While the human and political drama is well-covered, the oil supply dimension is nearly overlooked, leaving a gap in the story's completeness. The absence of Mojtaba Khamenei raises questions about Iran's future leadership stability, but most outlets treat it as a side note rather than a central issue.
