✦AI Summary
Mehbooba Mufti, a prominent Kashmiri political leader, was invited to Iran for the funeral rites of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, signaling a shift in Iran's diplomatic engagement in the region. Her vocal support for Iran and Palestine has distinguished her from other Kashmiri political families in the eyes of the Iranian leadership.
Former J&K Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti , who returned to India from Iran on Sunday (July 5, 2026), has become the first Sunni leader from Kashmir to join such a high-profile event and therefore bears a new message from Iran.
