Iran postponed a planned farewell ceremony in Tehran for its late supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed Saturday in U.S.-Israeli strikes as part of Operation Epic Fury.
The three-day program was scheduled to begin Wednesday at 10 p.m. local time at Imam Khomeini Prayer Hall, where large crowds were expected to gather to pay their respects, according to Tasnim, a semi-official Iranian news agency.
Hojjatoleslam Seyed Mohsen Mahmoudi, head of the Islamic Propaganda Coordination Council of Tehran Province, said the postponement followed widespread requests to participate and the need to provide adequate infrastructure and facilities to accommodate attendees.
«It was decided to hold the ceremony at a more appropriate time,» he explained.

No additional reason for the postponement was given, and it was not immediately clear when the ceremony would be rescheduled.
Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz warned Iranian leadership in a post on X that any successor who tries to «destroy Israel, to threaten the United States and the free world and the countries of the region, and to suppress the Iranian people» will be an «unequivocal target for elimination.»
«It does not matter what his name is or the place where he hides,» Katz said.

The funeral of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, drew massive crowds in the country’s capital on June 11, 1989, with an estimated 10.2 million people in attendance, roughly one-sixth of the nation’s population at the time.
According to Guinness World Records, it drew the largest percentage of a population ever recorded at a funeral.

Khamenei’s death triggers a closely watched succession process overseen by Iran’s Assembly of Experts, the clerical body responsible for appointing the supreme leader.
«The IRGC is a key stakeholder in this process, and will heavily influence its outcome,» Jason Brodsky, policy director at United Against Nuclear Iran, told Fox News Digital.

Elon Musk demands judge’s recusal after latest flare-up over alleged bias

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Elon Musk demanded on Wednesday that a Delaware judge recuse herself from Tesla lawsuits, arguing she recently demonstrated her bias against him when she liked an anti-Musk LinkedIn post.
Musk’s lawyers filed a motion for recusal in Delaware’s Court of Chancery, which included a screenshot of Judge Kathaleen McCormick liking the social media post celebrating Musk’s $2 billion court loss in a separate case. The attorneys noted that the incident did «not exist in a vacuum.»
The lawyers were referring to McCormick previously presiding over high-stakes cases involving Musk and the tech billionaire accusing the judge of bias stretching back years. The ongoing friction with the judge follows hostility Musk has faced from the left in recent years, most notably when he became a close ally of President Donald Trump in 2024 and through the early months of the administration.
Musk’s lawyers said McCormick appeared to cheer on a lawyer on LinkedIn who made a post mocking Musk’s legal defeat in a California fraud case. McCormick is currently presiding over separate derivative litigation brought by Tesla shareholders who have alleged Musk harmed the company by overpaying himself and board members. The lawyers said one of McCormick’s staff members also liked another anti-Musk post related to Musk’s pending litigation.

«This post to which the Court reacted and another to which a Court staff member reacted are not simply negative criticism of Mr. Musk and his attorneys, they are inflammatory,» Musk’s lawyers wrote.
The lawyers said that «the very facts underlying the litigation celebrated in the posts are squarely at issue in the consolidated and coordinated actions.»
McCormick later deactivated her LinkedIn account, and in a letter to attorneys in the case she denied supporting the anti-Musk post.
«I either did not click the ‘support’ icon at all, or I did so accidentally,» McCormick wrote. «I do not believe that I did it accidentally.»

McCormick in 2022 presided over a separate, high-profile lawsuit brought by Twitter, now called X, against Musk to force him to complete his $44 billion acquisition of the company after Musk attempted to back out over allegations the company misled him about the number of bots on the platform. Musk ended up moving forward with the acquisition and later testified that he felt forced to because he believed McCormick was biased against him.
«We were unlikely to win the [Twitter] case in Delaware because the judge was extremely biased against me,» Musk said this month, according to the recusal motion. «This was, in fact, the same judge that struck my Tesla option grant that was subsequently overturned by the Delaware Supreme Court. So it’s accurate to say she was, that judge was not favorably inclined to me. Not objective.»
In another lawsuit, McCormick in 2024 twice voided a multibillion-dollar pay package for Musk and the Tesla board, saying they had breached their fiduciary duties and that Musk effectively controlled the board. The Delaware Supreme Court reinstated the pay package but upheld McCormick’s underlying findings.
Musk responded that year to an X post from a conservative influencer about McCormick, writing «absolute corruption» after the influencer noted that she had previously worked at a Delaware law firm that donated to former President Joe Biden.

Musk’s grievances with McCormick began amid a national push against the tech billionaire as he began weighing in on politics, speaking out against the Democrat Party ahead of the 2022 midterms and endorsing Trump in the 2024 election.
He became the head of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency in 2025, serving in the role as a special government employee as he sought to identify government overspending and fraud, which raised his status as a political target by the left. Democrat lawmakers condemned Musk’s DOGE efforts in protests, while Tesla locations were targeted by rioters last year as critics characterized Musk as an unelected billionaire working in the administration.

Irán juega la carta hutí: ¿cómo impactaría el cierre de otro estrecho clave para el comercio internacional?

Irán empezó a mostrar finalmente su carta hutí. Después de un sorprendente silencio de casi un mes, el grupo proxy yemení advirtió este jueves sobre la posibilidad de entrar en la guerra en Medio Oriente y encendió una alarma mundial ante la amenaza iraní de bloquear otro estrecho clave para el comercio marítimo internacional.
“Ante cualquier acontecimiento en el campo de batalla que requiera una respuesta militar, vamos a actuar sin demora”, afirmó el líder hutí, Abdul Malik al Huthi.
Sus declaraciones se conocieron un día después que Irán amenazó con bloquear el estrecho de Bab el Mandeb, un paso obligado hacia el canal de Suez desde el mar Rojo bajo influencia de ese grupo armado chiíta respaldado por Teherán y que controla gran parte del noroeste de Yemen.
De cumplir su amenaza, se convertiría en el segundo paso comercial marítimo bloqueado por Irán después del estratégico estrecho de Ormuz, por donde pasaba el 20% del transporte de crudo y gas mundial.
“Los hutíes siguen siendo un factor importante que Irán podría jugar si Trump cumple sus amenazas de invadir territorio iraní. Si se bloquean simultáneamente dos puestos de control cruciales, la economía mundial entrará en una profunda crisis”, dijo a TN el analista Ali Vaez, experto en Irán del Crisis Group, una ONG especializada en la resolución de conflictos.

¿Por qué es tan importante el estrecho de Bab el Mandeb?
Los hutíes mantenían hasta hoy un enigmático silencio a solo dos días de cumplirse el primer mes de la guerra. Solo el Hezbolláh libanés y los grupos chiítas de Irak entraron en el conflicto en defensa de Irán. El Hamas palestino, otro grupo proxy, se encuentra fuera de escena tras dos años de guerra en Gaza.
Las milicias yemeníes tienen experiencia con combates en el mar Rojo. En 2023, en pleno conflicto de Gaza, atacaron a varios buques que atravesaron el estrecho de Bab el Mandeb en solidaridad con los palestinos.

Se trata de un paso clave para el comercio marítimo internacional. Conecta el canal de Suez, a través del mar Rojo, con el Golfo de Adén. Es una entrada vital para las transacciones entre Asia y Europa, en especial para el suministro mundial de energía.

El corredor es uno de los más transitados del mundo. Por allí circula alrededor de una cuarta parte de todo el comercio marítimo global. Se estima que cada día pasan unos 4,5 millones de barriles de petróleo, según la Administración de Información de Energía de Estados Unidos.
Pero eso no es todo. También pasa el 8% de los cargamentos mundiales de gas natural licuado (GNL).
¿Puede Irán bloquear un segundo estrecho en Medio Oriente?
Si los hutíes empiezan a lanzar misiles contra buques en el estrecho de Bab el Mandeb provocaría un daño gravísimo al comercio mundial, ya conmocionado por el virtual cierre de Ormuz.
Irán lo sabe. Por eso amenaza con cerrarlo. Es una carta marcada que se guarda para evitar que Donald Trump lance una invasión sobre alguna de las islas del estrecho de Ormuz para reabrir ese paso marítimo si fracasan las negociaciones bilaterales.

Distintos funcionarios estadounidenses, citados por el sitio Axios, dijeron que el presidente republicano maneja cuatro opciones sobre su escritorio.
- La invasión o el bloqueo de la isla de Kharg. Se trata del principal centro de exportación de petróleo de Irán.
- La toma de la isla de Larak. Es un puesto estratégico iraní que alberga búnkeres, lanchas de ataque capaces de destruir buques de carga y radares que monitorean todos los movimientos en el estrecho.
- El asalto de la isla de Abu Musa y otras dos más pequeñas. Están situadas cerca de la entrada occidental del estrecho. Si bien están bajo control de Teherán, son reclamadas por los Emiratos Árabes Unidos Unidos.
- El bloqueo o la incautación de los buques que exportan petróleo iraní. El ataque involucraría el lado oriental del estrecho de Ormuz.

Si bien varias fuentes yemeníes citadas por medios de la región evalúan que las reservas militares de los hutíes se habrían acabado, la amenaza en el estrecho de Bab el Mandeb sigue siendo alta.
Otros analistas consideran que el poder de fuego hutí sigue siendo importante después de un mes de hostilidades.
Yasser al-Waili, un ex oficial militar yemení, dijo a The Media Line que “Irán considera a los hutíes su reserva estratégica, ya que posee un gran número de misiles y drones. Por eso ha mantenido a los hutíes fuera de la guerra”.
“Todo el mundo sabe que Irán previamente transfirió varias piezas de equipo de fabricación militar al puerto de Hodeidah”, bajo control hutí, concluyó.
