After a week of mass funeral processions, rallies and mourning ceremonies in Iran, the assassinated former supreme leader has been buried.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed at the start of the US-Israeli war, but his funeral was delayed because of the ongoing conflict that saw senior iranian figured targeted and killed.

He was succeeded as supreme leader by his son Mojtaba, who has not been seen in public since he was reportedly wounded in the same attack.

The BBC’s chief international correspondent, Lyse Doucet, looks at how Iran’s new leadership will respond to several issues affecting the country.
