Claim
According to Iran's Press TV, leaders from more than 30 countries and religious leaders from more than 90 countries are attending Khamenei's farewell program.
“ईरान के प्रेस टीवी के मुताबिक... अंतिम विदाई कार्यक्रम में 30 से ज्यादा देशों के नेता, 90 से ज्यादा देशों के धर्मुरु शामिल हो रहे हैं।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
The anchor explicitly attributed the figures to Iran's Press TV, and Press TV's own coverage of Khamenei's funeral (Khamenei was killed on 28 Feb 2026; funeral began 4 July 2026) states leaders from 'more than 30 countries and religious leaders from over 90 nations have confirmed their attendance.' Both numbers cited on air match the Press TV source, and the 30+ political-leader figure is independently corroborated by Al Jazeera and Euronews. The claim faithfully reports what the attributed source said.
