Khamenei's Office Announces A Message To Iraq's Youth, Text Still Withheld
The July 18 post, relayed from Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei's own channel, names Iraq's mourning youth but withholds the actual statement.
- Telegram post at 18:50 on July 18, 2026 says the message 'will be published shortly.'
- Office's English channel forwarded the post from Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei's own channel.
- Message addressed to Iraq's 'oppressed' people and 'honorable youth' amid the funeral procession.
Why it matters: The Leader's office does not report news from Iraq; it choreographs the sequence in which Iraqis receive it.
