Funeral committee spokesperson: First step taken regarding incident

At the farewell and funeral ceremonies of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Iran and Iraq, a spokesman for the funeral headquarters announced that "the first step in blood revenge" is "retaliation." According to the spokesman's statement, the prominent feature of these ceremonies, particularly from a visual perspective, was the presence of red flags among the mourners, observed in both Iran and Iraq. This statement can be placed within a context of media transmissibility and global media reactions.

• The spokesman for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's funeral headquarters introduced "retaliation" as the first step in blood revenge.
• Red flags were prominently visible among participants at the farewell and funeral ceremonies of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
• These ceremonies were held in both Iran and Iraq.
• National media outlets provided coverage of the ceremonies that reflected messages of blood revenge and retaliation.. **Coverage Difference:** All three covering media outlets (Akharin Khabar, IRIB, Akhbare Fori) essentially republished the same base text and quotes from the funeral headquarters spokesman without meaningful differences in narrative or coverage angle; however, "Akhbare Fori" emphasized the global dimension and message dissemination by adding Persian and English hashtags (including "WillPayThePrice"), while the other two outlets remained focused on the physical ceremonies and crowd presence.
