Iran Shuts Khamenei Mourning Site After 3-Day Hardliner Sit-in Exposes Loyalist Rift

Summary
A mourning site near the place where Ali Khamenei was killed was shut down after ultra-hardliners in burial shrouds turned it into a three-day sit-in.
The closure highlighted a widening split inside Iran’s loyalist camp over how Khamenei’s death and memory should be used politically.
The protesters’ occupation transformed what had been a mourning venue into a flashpoint for infighting among forces that otherwise back the Islamic Republic.
