Iran’s entire regime made a red carpet entrance to the first of three funeral ceremonies for late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei — except the dead ayatollah’s own son and successor.

Khamenei’s casket, as well as those of his slain daughter, son-in-law and 14-month-old granddaughter, are on display in Tehran on Friday, where regime members, sympathizers and representatives from dozens of non-Western countries are paying tribute to the Shia Islamic extremist.

But current Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was a no-show, and he has not been seen or heard from since the Feb. 28 strike that killed his father, wife and child — with reports indicating that the younger Khamenei was seriously injured or even disfigured.

While public statements have been issued in Mojtaba Khamenei’s name since becoming supreme leader, concrete proof of life has been elusive.

The Post reported back in March that US intelligence assessed Mojtaba Khamenei as “probably gay” and briefed President Trump to that effect.

While the slain ayatollah’s son was a no-show, Iran’s senior leadership — including chief negotiators Speaker of the Parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi — were seen visiting Khamenei’s body.

His and his family members’ caskets were painted like the Iranian flag and placed on risers on a stage framed by blue Persian tiling, according to photographs in Iranian state media.

Ghalibaf was spotted melodramatically weeping at the first of three funeral ceremonies for the slain Ayatollah, bawling into his open palms in a video posted by Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency.

The supposed regime tough guy shook as he blubbered, while Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stoically stared at the ground next to him.

Also in attendance were representatives from dozens of countries — including China, Russia, Lebanon and Pakistan — with roughly 100 expected to show for the memorial events scheduled for Friday, Saturday and Monday, according to Iranian state media.

The display of solidarity by the countries in attendance drew criticism on Friday.

“Anyone who mourns Khamenei is pretty sick in the head,” said Foundation for Defending Democracies senior advisor Richard Goldberg on X. “Attendance at his funeral is a low point for those who went.”

“Condolence cards from the UN are a reminder of why we need to defund this anti-American institution,” he added.
