A figure described as a senior Iranian strategic affairs expert, Hush-Cham, said Iran must invest very high costs to avenge the blood of 'Imam Shahid Ali Khamenei,' according to a Telegram post. He noted that the cost of the previous 40-day war was acceptable and suggested Iran could repeat it, while questioning what would happen if the leader were assassinated again.
A post circulating on Iranian Telegram channels attributes a statement to Hush-Cham, described as a senior Iranian strategic affairs expert, calling for a costly revenge campaign following the assassination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The speaker is quoted as saying Iran invested only 40 days of war in the previous response and could do so again, but expressed concern that a second assassination would be unbearable. The identity and authority of 'Hush-Cham' are not independently verified, and the message is a single-source claim from an unaffiliated the source. The statement appears amid a broader period of hardline Iranian rhetoric following Khamenei's death in June, with senior advisors and officials vowing revenge. No concrete operational details or timelines are provided in the post.
