Wahidi appears to break death rumors, adding new variables to the Middle East situation.

CoinWorld News: The commander-in-chief of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps appeared in Tehran. On the eve of the funeral for the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Ahmad Vahidi, the commander-in-chief of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps who was once rumored to have been killed in an attack, appeared in the capital Tehran on the evening of the 2nd.

Photos released by the office of Iran's Supreme Leader show that at a small religious ceremony held in a mourning hall next to Khamenei's residence in central Tehran, Vahidi sat beside Khamenei's coffin. In front of the coffin were red tulips, and paper butterflies hung above it. The Associated Press reported that Vahidi last appeared in public on February 8, a few weeks before the outbreak of the war in Iran.

Vahidi was born in 1958. After the victory of the 1979 Iranian Islamic Revolution, he joined the Revolutionary Guard Corps and became the first commander of the Quds Force.
