Omid Sarlak, an Iranian national, was found dead just hours after he posted footage of himself burning a portrait of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Local police have labeled the case as a self-inflicted gunshot, reportedly inside his vehicle. However, opposition sources and family sympathizers are calling the death suspicious, raising accusations of targeted retaliation. At the funeral, mourners publicly challenged the state’s narrative, chanting "They killed him" and "Death to Khamenei," marking one of the strongest public displays of dissent since the protests that erupted across Iran in 2022.
