01 · THE DISPATCH

Iran's judiciary chief issued a statement on Saturday vowing that the Islamic Republic will never forget the killing of the ayatollah and will punish the murderers, according to a report on an Iranian state-aligned the source. The statement, attributed to the head of Iran's judiciary, does not specify which ayatollah is referenced, a target, or a timeframe for action.

This is the latest in a series of threats from senior Iranian officials over the past several weeks. As The Zioneer reported, Iran's Foreign Ministry vowed on July 9 to punish 'aggressors,' and IRGC Commander Hossein Salami said on July 10 that 'revenge for the leader's blood will not be forgotten.' On July 6, the judiciary chief himself threatened the United States with punishment for the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

The repeated statements from multiple branches of the Iranian establishment suggest a coordinated messaging campaign, but no operational details or concrete steps have been announced. The threat remains at the rhetorical level for now.
