Top Iranian officials attended the second day of funeral proceedings for slain Supreme Leader Ali Khamanei on Sunday.
Khamanei's family members were also in attendance, including three of his sons. But the son who succeeded him as Iran's top leader, Motjaba Khamenei, was nowhere to be seen as speculation grows as to his whereabouts.
Motjaba has not been seen in public for months after he was reportedly wounded in the same February 28 airstrike that killed his father and several others. His face was reportedly disfigured and he suffered significant injury to one or both legs.Khamenei's sons, IRGC leaders make rare public appearance
Present on Sunday were Khamenei's sons Meysam, Mostafa and Masoud, who was seen wiping his tears with a keffiyeh — a symbol of solidarity with Palestinians. The three hadn't been seen in public since the war broke out.
