Tehran: Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei has vowed to avenge the blood of his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and all the martyrs of the two recent wars against what he termed as "criminal killers."

According to National Iraqi News Agency, the statement was issued during the funeral procession for the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei held in both Iraq and Iran. Mojtaba Khamenei expressed a firm commitment to retribution, stating, "We pledge to avenge your pure blood and the blood of all the martyrs of these two wars against the shameful criminal killers. This revenge is the demand of our people, and it must be fulfilled."

He further noted that the names of those responsible for these acts are fully documented and predicted that they will meet their end with a desire to die peacefully, a wish he suggests will remain unfulfilled. He highlighted that the fulfillment of this pledge does not rely solely on his presence or that of other officials. Regardless of their presence, he assured that the mission will be realized, with support from free people globally, each contributing to what he described as a divine mission.
