Israeli news outlet The Times of Israel has described the recitation of Quranic verses at the funeral of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as a form of political propaganda and military messaging. The report argued that Iran’s leadership has long used religion to advance political, social, and economic goals, and that specific verses were chosen to send symbolic messages to visiting delegations.
According to the report by writer Fatema Al Harbi, verses were selected to align with the identities of groups such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis. Each verse was said to carry a distinct political message, portraying these organizations as divinely sanctioned or spiritually legitimate. The author claimed that the ceremony’s delay allowed Iranian authorities to plan every detail carefully, turning religious rituals into instruments of political communication.
The report further warned that religious extremism begins when political groups claim exclusive authority to interpret sacred texts, framing their supporters as true believers and opponents as outsiders. It concluded that Iran’s use of Quranic verses at the funeral exemplified how political propaganda can merge with religious expression.
