Iranian officials, including Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf, are traveling to Beirut for the funeral of Hezbollah's Hassan Nasrallah and his deputy Sayyed Hashem Safieddine. This funeral is an important moment for Iran to showcase its continued support for Hezbollah, as they have been cut off from a land corridor to re-supply the group since the fall of the Assad regime. Large numbers of people, including Shi'ites from Iraq and members of Shi'ite militias, are also arriving in Beirut for the funeral. The ceremony is expected to be one of the biggest in Lebanon's recent history, drawing tens of thousands of mourners and Hezbollah supporters from across the region.
