Iranian newspapers echo Supreme Leader Khamenei's revenge vow for father's killing

Headlines in many Iranian newspapers are echoing Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei's threat to avenge his father's death, according to a report on Iranian Telegram channels. The threat was first issued by Khamenei on July 11, calling revenge a 'national imperative.'

According to a report on Iranian Telegram channels, headlines in many Iranian newspapers are now echoing Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei's vow to avenge his father's assassination. The desk first reported this amplification at 12:31 Jerusalem on Saturday, July 11, as part of a wave of revenge rhetoric from Iranian state-aligned media.

The Supreme Leader's own threat was first reported by The Zioneer on Saturday, July 11, when he issued a written directive declaring revenge a 'national imperative' (12:31 Jerusalem). Throughout the day, he issued additional statements: that revenge is a 'divine mission,' that the perpetrators will not die peacefully in their beds, and that the campaign is not dependent on his own survival. The IRGC's official newspaper also published a statement threatening imminent revenge, reported at the same time.

These statements follow a series of revenge threats from Iranian officials since the assassination of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. As The Zioneer reported on July 1, the judiciary chief vowed revenge and called for a mass funeral. On July 3, the defense minister promised retaliation. Also, on June 28, the Supreme Leader declared a 'legal war' ordering prosecution of US and Israeli leaders.

The specific newspapers and the exact wording of their headlines remain unconfirmed based on a desk-reviewed report. The desk has not independently verified the content. The timeline and scope of any potential retaliation are still unclear.
