Key News on Iran-US War Central News Agency TEHRAN, Iran (CNA, Foreign News) - March 3 - The commander of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards, Vahidi, made his first public appearance since the outbreak of the Middle East conflict, paying his respects at the shrine of the late Supreme Leader Khamenei. Footage of his attendance at the funeral was broadcast by local media today. According to Agence France-Presse, Vahidi (Ahmad Vahidi) had maintained a low profile since the US and Israel attacked Iran, believed to be an effort to avoid suffering the same fate as his predecessor who was assassinated. Iran's Fars news agency captured images of Vahidi placing his hand on the coffin and bowing his head in prayer. Khamenei (Ali Khamenei) died in an airstrike on the first day of the joint US-Israeli attack on Iran. The official memorial service will begin on the 4th in Tehran and conclude with his burial on the 9th in his hometown of Mashhad. Memorial services are also planned in the Iranian holy city of Qom and in Iraq during this period.
