Mojtaba Khamenei has still not been seen in public since Iran's six-day state funeral for his assassinated father began on 4 July, and his continued absence is fuelling fresh doubt over how securely Iran's new supreme leader has consolidated power. The main funeral procession moved through Tehran on Monday, one of the largest single gatherings of the week-long mourning period.
Three of Ali Khamenei's other sons, named in state broadcasts as Mostafa, Meysam and Masoud, were shown praying beside the family's coffins in Tehran over the weekend. Mojtaba was absent from that appearance too.
