@mbaring5: Iranian organisers recited verses from the Qur’an as the Saudi delegation paid tribute to Ali Khamenei’s coffin during his funeral on Friday. The delegation, led by Deputy Foreign Minister Waleed Al-Khereiji, was present as verse 13 of Surah Ali 'Imran was recited, which contrasts those fighting in the path of Allah with those who reject faith, and states that Allah grants victory to whom He wills. The choice of verse sparked controversy and debate across social media as the Iranians appeared to be using Qur'an verses to send political messages to various countries. #everyone
