STILL NO BURIAL? More than six weeks after the killing of Ali Khamenei, Iran’s leadership is sending a troubling signal — continued delay in burying the longtime supreme leader.

The unusual break from Islamic tradition is being seen as a sign of internal instability, as what should have been a controlled display of continuity has instead raised questions about who is truly in charge.

Even after 40-day mourning ceremonies began on April 9, officials have still not announced burial plans, fueling growing speculation about deeper power struggles.
