On July 4, state-aligned media devoted near-total coverage to the public farewell ceremony for the 'martyred leader' at Tehran's Mosalla, with massive crowds, foreign delegations, and logistical mobilizations dominating headlines throughout the day. The prayer service was scheduled for Sunday morning, led by grand ayatollahs. Foreign-based outlets highlighted Trump's statements: he claimed to have 'crushed' the Islamic Republic, gave a one-week mourning ultimatum, and asserted Iran would never obtain nuclear weapons. Reports also noted UK-France cooperation with Oman to secure the Strait of Hormuz, and the appointment of Ali Azmaei as new IRGC Navy commander. The day presented a split narrative: a regime-orchestrated display of unity and grief, contrasted with external pressure and diplomatic isolation.
