Ali Nikzad, deputy speaker of Iran's Islamic Parliament, told the Mehr news agency that revenge against the murderers of late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is certain, specifically against the United States. "The blood of the departed leader of the Islamic revolution will not go unanswered. One day we will take our revenge from the United States and its leaders for this crime," he said.
Ali Nikzad, deputy speaker of Iran's Islamic Parliament, issued a new threat of retaliation for the death of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, singling out the United States. Speaking to the Mehr news agency over the weekend, Nikzad said revenge is inevitable. "The blood of the departed leader of the Islamic revolution will not go unanswered. One day we will take our revenge from the United States and its leaders for this crime," he stated.
The threat is the latest in a wave of similar statements from senior Iranian officials since Khamenei's death. As The Zioneer has reported, Iran's judiciary chief, the commander-in-chief, the army chief, and the IRGC Intelligence Ministry have all issued vows of revenge over the past week. The statements have consistently named both the United States and Israel as targets, with some explicitly threatening U.S. President Donald Trump. Nikzad's remarks mark the first direct threat from a Parliamentary leadership figure in this cycle. The threat remains at the rhetorical level, with no specific operational details or timeline provided.
