On July 29, 2026, X user Shin (@hey_itsmyturn) posted a comment regarding Saudi Arabia's diplomatic signals. The tweet read:

Quite a good move by Saudis, delivering a strong message as well! Would be even better if they were not sending a delegation for Khamenei’s funeral though

The post, which references 'Khamenei’s funeral,' implies the Supreme Leader's death and suggests that Saudi Arabia's action—while positive—is undercut by the planned delegation.
