Political and Religious Implications of Seddiqi’s Death

The funeral has become a focal point for political and religious debates in Iran, especially relating to land corruption scandals and family influence of high-ranking clerics. Critics argue that the Seddiqi family’s alleged illegal land acquisitions symbolize broader issues of corruption within Iran’s religious and political institutions.
