Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf called on all Iranians — including youth, martyr families, war veterans, and women — to attend the funeral of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei en masse, urging them to write a new glorious page in Iran's history and demand blood revenge, according to a single source.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf issued a public call for mass attendance at the funeral of late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, urging Iranians to demand blood revenge. The statement, published Thursday morning, addresses youth, families of 'martyrs,' war-wounded, women, and men to 'write another glorious page in the history of Islamic Iran.' Ghalibaf called on the world to hear the Iranian people's cry for 'blood revenge,' asserting that the noble Iranian people will not remain silent in the face of injustice and arrogance, and will not abandon revenge for their leader. The appeal follows Ghalibaf's recent statements tying the concept of revenge to the liberation of Jerusalem and the preservation of Lebanon, as The Zioneer previously reported. The call is part of a broader pattern of escalating rhetoric from the senior Iranian official in the aftermath of Khamenei's death. The authenticity of the statement is based on a single source; no independent confirmation of the funeral logistics or crowd response is yet available.
Ghalibaf's latest call at 10:24 Jerusalem on Thursday is the fourth statement the desk has tracked from the speaker since Khamenei's death. The thread began at the same hour (Thu 10:24 Jerusalem) with version 1, reporting Ghalibaf's initial demand for massive revenge rallies. Version 2 added a warning from an emergency command general to the US and Israel against miscalculation. Version 3 specifically urged youth and bereaved families to flood the procession. Version 4—also at 10:24 Jerusalem—redefined revenge as the liberation of Jerusalem and preserving Lebanon. The current dispatch (version 5) reframes that revenge call in terms of funeral attendance and blood vengeance.
As The Zioneer reported on Thu Jun 25, 10:12 Jerusalem, Ghalibaf had earlier acknowledged over 3,000 dead and 30,000 wounded following the war. Other background items—including Ghalibaf's warnings to Israel over Lebanon (Tue Jun 16, 18:38 Jerusalem) and his claims of Iran taking a 'big step toward final victory' (Mon Jun 15, 18:37 Jerusalem)—situate his rhetoric within a broader pattern of defiance and mobilization.
The authenticity of this latest statement rests on a single source (Abu Ali Express). No independent confirmation of the actual funeral logistics, crowd response, or the timing of the funeral has been received.
