Ali Khamenei’s 40th deathday has arrived; so silently and gracefully that it cannot be said that it passed like a flash of lightning. It seems as if not 40 days, but a year has passed. In popular culture, 40 means a definitive farewell; it means accepting his absence. But in this narrative, there is neither a farewell nor an acceptance. Out of fear, the government is still keeping Khamenei in the refrigerator and has not buried him.
