And I think there's been some kind of private understanding to the extent that there could be any understanding between Iran and America that America will not only not attack this funeral, they'll make sure that Israel doesn't either.
Yes, I mean, there was a complete long line of all the most senior figures in the military, the judiciary and religion and politics in front of the caskets.
Yesterday at morning prayers, including the three sons of Ali Khamenei, who have not appeared in public, and they appeared together.
There had been rumors that they had been killed.
There was senior figures in the IRGC who haven't been seen for weeks and months.
The one exception to all this is obviously the son, Mojabo Khamenei, who's not...
attended any of these public events and his whereabouts and health remains a mystery.
He's sending out written messages quite frequently now but whether they're genuinely from him there's been even no audio from him so it is slightly mysterious as to why they're holding him back so much.
Obviously the formal official explanation is security but it is remarkable that almost every other single figure in
Iranian public life has now appeared in public over the past 48 hours or so, and he hasn't.
Absolutely free to talk to anyone.

What's the point of it?
You know, think about all the damage it's doing to your country.
He got quite heated and accused me of lying.
And I just sat down asking questions.
And we had to pull out of that conversation.
It's almost the only conversation I've had where it's gone slightly wrong.
