Some of Iran's top officials Sunday attended funeral prayers for the country's former Supreme
“leader, the leader in four members of his family, were killed in the U.S.'s really”
air strike last February. As NPR's Hadeel Al-Shalti reports, one high-profile figure, though, was not there. Iranian state media showed three of Ayatolladi Hamanay's sons, and the head of the Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps General Ahmad Wahidi, who was rarely seen in public.
They were all performing the ritual Islamic funeral prayers for Hamanay. Iran's President's Speaker of Parliament and the head of Iran's elite military goods force were also there, some were sobbing profusely, their shoulders shaking. But one notable absence was that of Ayatolladi Hamanay, Iran's new leader and Al-Hamanay's fourth son.
Mustafa Hamanay took over power from his father and march, and is yet to be seen in public as many top leaders stay in hiding to protect their whereabouts for fear of assassination. It's unclear if Mustafa Hamanay will take part in any of the ceremonies planned for his father's funeral. Hadeel Al-Shalti and PR News Istanbul.
A funeral was held Sunday in Colorado for three fire fighters killed last week while fighting
“a wild fire along the Colorado Utah border.”
U.S. wild land fire service chief Brian Fenasi said the way to the tragedy is being felt far beyond the fire community.

They showed up for their fellow firefighters. They showed up to perform a mission that many cannot or will not. Dozens of fires are continuing to burn in the western U.S. if this hour, and whether officials say the extreme heat in the region is making the possibility of additional fires even more likely.
Police in Memphis say Tennessee National Guard members assigned by the Trump administration to a crime fighting patrol, fatally shot a man early Sunday morning.

State officials are now investigating the incident. U.S. men's soccer star forward, Philoran Balagan will be allowed to play in the Reos
“World Cup match against Belgium Monday night.”
FIFA has lifted the strikers red card band and PR's Kristen Wright has more. FIFA's disciplinary committee announced it's suspending Balagan's one-game band for a probationary period of one year, a major decision that gives the U.S. men's team back its lead score for the World Cup Round of 16 match against Belgium. Balagan got the red card for a foul against an opposing defender during the U.S.'s two
nil victory against Bosnia, Herzogovina on Wednesday. The American strikers said it was unintentional. U.S. soccer said in a statement, "It's pleased with FIFA's decision, and its attention is focused on the game." President Trump thanked soccer's governing body and opposed online, calling the initial
suspension in injustice, Kristen Wright and PR news. And you're listening to NPR News. Minions and monsters and Toy Story 5 each sold more than $30 million worth of tickets this weekend, but NPR's Bob Mondello says Hollywood is buzzing about the historical biopic that came in third.
