Global interest slows Lindsey Graham funeral plans

Funeral plans for U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham are being delayed by the number of world leaders interested in attending and the logistics of coordinating a lie-in-state in the U.S. Capitol and a National Cathedral service, with scheduling potentially pushing events to next week or later and a rapid South Carolina service afterward; Tim Scott described the process as more complex due to multiple high-profile attendees and ongoing SC Senate race considerations.

Iran begins week of mourning as Khamenei funeral draws world leaders

Iran inaugurates a week of funeral ceremonies for late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, with his coffin in Tehran’s Grand Mosalla as top officials and dozens of foreign delegations attend. Authorities expect millions to join public mourning, starting with a Tehran ceremony and extending to processions in Iran and across Iraq. The events follow his death four months after a US-Israeli strike on Iran, and invitations to European countries are reportedly limited to neutral or friendly states.

While Nvidia's Jensen Huang and other tech chiefs are on hand, several heavyweights — Xi Jinping, Lula da Silva, Narendra Modi — are absent or not expected to speak, and Denmark has declined attendance amid Greenland tensions. The forum focuses on geopolitics, AI, climate and growth, with Trump slated to speak midweek and his delegation including Rubio, Scott Bessent, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
