Iran attached to each foreign delegation that participated in Khamenei’s funeral a verse from the Quran, chosen according to the political context:

• The delegation from Saudi Arabia received a verse about two armies meeting on the battlefield—one believing, and the other not believing.

• The delegation from Turkey received a verse praising the merit of fighters over those who “sit on the sidelines.”

• The delegation on behalf of the Lebanese government received a verse about people who refuse to sacrifice when called upon to do so.

• The Hezbollah delegation received the verse: “Do not weaken and do not grieve—you are the superior ones.”

• The Hamas delegation received the verse praising those who fulfilled their covenant with God: “Some of them have died, and some are still waiting.”

• The Houthi delegation from Yemen received a verse praising believers who fought without weakening.

• The delegation from Qatar received a verse about forgiveness and God’s grace, which was perceived as a hint to its role as a mediator.
