In a recent statement, Ali Abdollahi, the commander of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya, issued a stern warning to the United States and Israel, cautioning against any military action during the funeral of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The funeral, which is set to take place over a week starting Saturday, will see heightened security measures, with millions expected to attend. This warning comes amid ongoing ceasefire negotiations following a series of conflicts earlier this year that resulted in Khamenei’s death. The market response to this development suggests a decrease in the likelihood of the Iranian regime’s fall before 2027, as tensions may deter potential regime change.
