Faleh al-Fayyadh, head of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) —an umbrella of predominantly Shiite armed factions operating under nominal Iraqi state authority— also traveled to the Iranian capital, accompanied by several parliamentary and political bloc leaders.

Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani had arrived earlier Friday following a formal invitation from Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.

Ayatollah Khamenei was killed in joint US-Israeli airstrikes in late February. Funeral ceremonies are scheduled between July 4 and 9.
