French far-right leader Marine Le Pen was cleared to run in next year's presidential election, despite having her embezzlement conviction confirmed, in a week that saw Iran hold days-long funeral ceremonies for slain supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and football stars Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi deliver moments of magic to carry their teams into the World Cup semi-finals. FRANCE 24 looks back at some of the week's most striking images.

French far-right leader Marine Le Pen was all smiles after an appeals court cleared her to run for the French presidency, despite upholding her conviction for embezzlement. Her protégé Jordan Bardella, a one-time substitute candidate, looked less enthusiastic.
