Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's funeral procession begins in Tehran

Tehran's airspace has been closed for the funeral arrangements. The event unfolds amid heightened regional tensions. An oil tanker off the coast of Oman sustained severe damage in an attack, with US officials reportedly blaming Iran, while Tehran's state broadcaster cited ignored warnings.

In Lebanon, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed some Christian villages sought annexation to Israel for protection from Hezbollah, a claim rejected by a local mayor amid increased attacks on the community. The Israeli army is reportedly preparing to withdraw from two southern Lebanese areas, with the Lebanese army expected to assume control and gradually disarm Hezbollah.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces killed Palestinian teenager Walid Nidal Abu Sneineh during a raid on the Qalandiya refugee camp. Early Monday, at least four Palestinians were killed and others injured by Israeli strikes and shelling in the Gaza Strip.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf vowed to punish 'arrogant powers' for killings in the country. Hamas announced the dissolution of the body that has governed the Gaza Strip for nearly two decades, paving the way for a technocratic committee to implement civilian rule.
