A firm message from Tehran: "Israel and the USA must pay for the elimination of Khamenei"

The advisor to the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Majid Mir Ahmadi, attacked Israel and the USA on Tuesday, delivering a threatening message:

"The perpetrators and commanders behind the killing of the late Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei must, in accordance with the Quran's command, be punished in the same way they carried out their actions."

According to him, the issue of blood vengeance is not a personal matter but a national issue concerning the entire Islamic nation. Ahmadi added that the threat will not dissipate until Iran's enemies feel a real and practical danger.

Hossein Shariatmadari, editor-in-chief of the conservative Iranian newspaper Kayhan, stated in an interview with the Fars news agency—an outlet affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards—that ignoring this vengeance is tantamount to granting a license for the enemies' continued crimes.

"Revenge is not a personal matter; diminishing its importance effectively gives the USA and Israel permission to do whatever they want," he emphasized.

Shariatmadari also referred to messages published on behalf of Mojtaba Khamenei, describing them as "clear and direct." Their content dictates that the Strait of Hormuz must remain closed, the USA must pay reparations to Iran and withdraw from the region, and the nuclear issue must not be part of any negotiations, alongside the execution of the vengeance that has been repeatedly emphasized.
