P.M. Edition for July 6.
Crowds thronged the streets of Tehran today as part of the week of funeral events for Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader killed by the U.S. and Israel at the start of the war.
WSJ Middle East correspondent Benoit Faucon discusses how Iran is using the funeral as a demonstration of its defiance–potentially complicating peace negotiations.
Plus, we’re exclusively reporting that Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum that puts on Davos, is making a comeback bid.
And the “Trump Accounts” for kids are now live.
We hear from the Journal’s Elyse Goncalves about who should get one, even if it doesn’t come with $1,000 of seed money from the government.
