Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf threatened Monday that those responsible for the killing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei will be punished, and said the final stage of revenge will be realized through the liberation of Jerusalem, according to a single source.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf issued a new threat Monday evening, stating that "those responsible for the killing of Ali Khamenei will be punished" and that "the final stage of revenge" will be realized through the liberation of Jerusalem. The statement was reported by a single source.
The threat is the latest in a series of similar statements by senior Iranian officials since the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. As The Zioneer has reported, Ghalibaf previously said on July 2 that Khamenei's blood would be avenged by liberating Jerusalem, and on June 18 he called for expanding the ceasefire from Beirut to all of Lebanon while tying it to Jerusalem's liberation. Deputy Speaker Ali Nikzad also vowed revenge against the United States on July 5.
The consistent messaging from Tehran indicates a sustained rhetorical escalation by the Iranian political leadership, linking the late Supreme Leader's death to a broader call for regional confrontation. It remains unclear whether these statements reflect operational planning or are primarily aimed at domestic and regional audiences.
