Hassan Kazemi Qomi, Iran's former special envoy for Afghanistan, stated that the presence of opposition figures to the Taliban government at Ali Khamenei's funeral was strictly non-political. He emphasized that Iran's relationship with the Afghan people is rooted in culture and civilization.
Qomi referred to the attending opposition leaders as representatives of a segment of the Afghan nation, noting they traveled to Iran solely to express condolences. He added that Tehran naturally welcomes all Afghan factions given their deep historical ties.
The event was also attended by a Taliban government delegation led by Abdul Ghani Baradar. The simultaneous presence of both current officials and opposition leaders, including Ahmad Massoud and Mohammad Mohaqiq, has sparked widespread media discussions and public reactions.
