KHAMENEI WAFAT, ARAGHCHI DIHUJAT! Kenapa Indonesia Cuma Kirim Dubes?#031

The death of Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei was one of the most captivating events in the world. Not only because it marked the end of a great Iranian leader, but also because the lengthy procession of honor and funeral, which passed through several important cities, conveyed a political and geopolitical message for the region. At the same time, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was in the spotlight after receiving criticism from some Iranians regarding his negotiations with the United States. Was Iran facing an internal tug-of-war between demands for retaliation and the option of diplomacy? Were the negotiations a truly unanimous decision among the Iranian elite? From Indonesia's perspective, another equally important question arises. Why was Indonesia initially represented only by the Indonesian Ambassador to Iran in the procession honoring Ayatollah Ali Khamenei? Was this decision merely a matter of protocol, or did it also reflect a specific political message in the implementation of an independent and active foreign policy?
