Former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been seen attending Khamenei's procession, according to local media.

This appears to be his first major public appearance since the start of the war on 28 February.

According to Iranian media reports, the area near Ahmadinejad's home was targeted during the early days of the US-Israeli war with Iran.

A government-owned newspaper later reported that three of Ahmadinejad's bodyguards had been killed in the attack.

Ahmadinejad was president between 2005 and 2013. His disputed re-election in 2009 triggered large protests but was backed by Khamenei.

The former supreme leader then warned Ahmadinejad against running again in 2017, but he did so anyway and was disqualified.

He was again disqualified in 2021 and 2024.
