TL;DR

A commentator on the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) said that unless Iran exacts revenge against U.S. President Donald Trump, the current Supreme Leader — a reference to the acting officeholder after Ali Khamenei's assassination — will have to remain in hiding permanently, according to an Israeli the source that follows Arabic-language media.

01 · THE DISPATCH

A commentator identified as "Cambrian" (or likely a Persian name transliterated into Hebrew), described as a lecturer and pundit on IRIB — Iran's state broadcasting corporation — said Sunday that failure to avenge the assassination of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei against President Donald Trump would force the current leader to live permanently in hiding, according to the Israeli the source '301 — The Arab World on Telegram.'

The comment, reported by the channel at 11:03 Jerusalem time, is the latest in a series of public statements from Iranian hardliners and regime-affiliated figures since Khamenei's killing, which the U.S. and Israel have been widely accused of orchestrating. As The Zioneer has reported, other IRIB-affiliated clerics and Intelligence Ministry officials have similarly called for revenge against both Washington and Jerusalem. The statement echoes a recurring theme in regime propaganda: that ensuring deterrence and regime survival requires credible retaliation.

The degree of official sanction behind this specific commentator's words is not independently confirmed; IRIB often hosts analysts whose views align with the establishment but may not represent direct instructions. The remark is one of several recent threats targeting Trump personally, including from Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr, who last week stated the "file of revenge" remains open.
