Pezeshkian thanks foreign leaders attending Leader's funeral

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian expressed gratitude to foreign leaders who attended the funeral of the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei. In separate messages shared on his official X account on Wednesday, Pezeshkian thanked countries for their solidarity with Iran, stating that the sympathy and support offered will remain alive for the Iranian nation.

President Pezeshkian praised Iran's relations with each of those countries and emphasized that Tehran remains committed to guidance by the martyred Leader, who stressed the importance of strong ties with neighboring and regional nations.

The memorial service for the martyred Leader was held in Tehran last Friday, July 3, when senior officials from dozens of countries paid their respects to Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and several members of his family. They were killed in an airstrike on the martyred Leader's office and residence in Tehran on February 28, the first day of the recent US-Israeli war on Iran.

Among the foreign guests were Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Tajikistan's President Emomali Rahmon, Georgia's President Mikheil Kavelashvili, and Turkmenistan's National Leader Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow.

According to Mehr News, the messages underscored Iran's commitment to maintaining strong diplomatic relations with neighboring and regional countries, following the path outlined by the late Leader.
