@daily.news019: Russia has sent one of its most senior officials to Tehran in a powerful show of support for Iran following the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev, a close ally of President Vladimir Putin, attended Khamenei's farewell ceremony before meeting Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and praising Iran's resilience in the face of Western pressure. Medvedev described Khamenei as having died a "martyr's death," while reiterating Russia's support for Tehran. The visit comes as Iran holds days-long funeral ceremonies and millions are expected to participate in nationwide mourning events. Moscow has repeatedly condemned the U.S.-Israeli military campaign against Iran, with Putin previously calling Khamenei's killing a "cynical assassination." #russia #putin #dmitrymedvedev #iran #alikhamenei
