Mojtaba Khamenei, son of Iran’s Supreme Leader, has responded amidst escalating tensions between the US and Iran. He vowed to avenge the death of his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, warning that those responsible would face the consequences. He stated that this is a nationwide demand and pledged to fulfill it, conveying this message via Telegram.
“We will exact revenge on the killers for our leader and all those who were martyred,” he declared. However, he noted that this matter does not depend solely on his leadership or that of other officials. This statement follows a warning from US President Donald Trump to Iran, cautioning of a severe response should any attempt be made to target him. Meanwhile, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei died in joint US-Israeli strikes on February 28, and his funeral took place on July 9; however, Mojtaba, who was critically injured in the same attack, was unable to attend his father’s funeral.
