Khamenei appeared in public for the first time since the beginning of the escalation of the conflict with Israel

Iran's Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has appeared in public for the first time since the outbreak of the conflict with Israel. This was reported by the IRNA news agency on July 5.

"The participation of Ayatollah Khamenei, the supreme leader of the Islamic Republic, in the Ashura Night funeral ceremony at the Khomeini Mausoleum tonight attracted widespread attention from Arab regional media," the newspaper said.

Ashura is the tenth day of the month of Muharram, the first month of the year in the Muslim calendar. This is one of the main memorable dates, revered by all Muslims. On this day, they remember the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, in the Battle of Karbala.
