Doha

Beginning tomorrow, Iran will launch a week of funeral events for Ali Khamenei. He is set to be buried next week in Mashhad. So far, there is no confirmation that his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, will take part in the ceremonies. At the same time, Iran is escalating its threats against Israel and the U.S.

President Donald Trump said Iran requested an official meeting in Doha as soon as tomorrow. In Tehran, officials pushed back: "The technical meetings of the working groups are not scheduled for this week."
