Iran's Khamenei Funeral Draws Terrorist Groups, Signaling Ongoing 'Axis of Resistance'

The funeral of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei should not be mistaken for a religious or state event. The ceremony in Tehran once again reminded West Asian politics that Iran's "Axis of Resistance" is far from over, despite recent wars, airstrikes, and military pressure. Iran has shown the world the power of Triple H at Khamenei's funeral. Triple H means Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. After the Iran War and the Gaza War, the world began to realize that the power of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis had collapsed. But the presence of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthi rebels at Khamenei's funeral remains the most discussed topic. State media report that Saturday's funeral of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was attended by representatives of Tehran-backed terrorist and insurgent groups. The emissaries of Hezbollah and Hamas have also met with Abbas Abbas, the foreign minister of Yemen, and Hamza Filiz Hamdat of the Houthi uprising.
