- CNN covered the farewell ceremony at Tehran's Mosalla and reported that attendees were weeping and chanting the slogan "Vengeance."

- Multiple media outlets, including Mashreg News, the Young Journalists Club, Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, Jam-e Jam, and Hamshahri, published images and videos of the farewell ceremony at Tehran's Mosalla.
- The Telegram channel "Entekhaab" published an image of Zahra Mohammadi Golpayegani's coffin, mentioning her family relation to the "Martyred Leader."
- Abou Dhakaria, an Algerian intellectual, responded to the death of Zahra Mohammadi Golpayegani by stating: "The daughter of Iran's leader was killed by Epstein civilization"; Mashreg News reposted this position under the headline "Iran's leader's granddaughter was killed by Epstein civilization."

- The ceremony was held at Tehran's Mosalla and domestic media followed it through extensive publication of images and videos, though precise details such as the exact number of attendees were not mentioned in any of the sources.. Coverage difference: Iranian domestic media outlets (Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, Mashreg News, Jam-e Jam, Hamshahri, the Young Journalists Club, and Entekhaab) primarily focused on publishing images and videos from the ceremony and coffins, narrating the subject from a sympathetic perspective based on "martyrdom" rhetoric; some also attributed Zahra Mohammadi Golpayegani's death to "Western civilization" (referencing the name Epstein). In contrast, CNN coverage—the only non-Iranian media outlet in this list—emphasized the emotional atmosphere of the crowd and the chanting of the "Vengeance" slogan, an angle that was not explicitly reflected in domestic media. Regarding the cause of Zahra Mohammadi Golpayegani's death, independent information was not provided in the sources, with only a quote from an Algerian intellectual—without providing documentation—attributing it to "Epstein civilization."
