TL;DR

Top Iranian security and military commanders, including the army chief, IRGC Quds Force commander Ismail Qaani, and the police chief, published a letter of allegiance to Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. They declared that 'there is no remedy for the pain except revenge against the murderers of the martyred leader' and explicitly called for 'dismembering' US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

01 · THE DISPATCH

A coalition of Iran's most senior security and military figures has formally pledged allegiance to the new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, in a letter that combines loyalty with explicit threats against foreign leaders.

According to the source covering Iranian affairs, signatories include the chief of the Iranian army, IRGC Quds Force commander Ismail Qaani, the national police chief, and other senior officials. The letter states that 'there is no remedy for the pain except revenge against the murderers of the martyred leader' — referring to the killing of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. It explicitly calls for the 'dismemberment' of U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The statement follows nearly a month of heightened rhetoric from Tehran since the death of Ali Khamenei. As The Zioneer has reported, previous Iranian security officials — including Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr — have threatened revenge. President Trump has publicly stated that he 'regrets' wounding the new leader, whom he described as 'courageous' and 'severely wounded' in a June 19 Axios interview.

The letter, published Sunday, appears designed to consolidate support around Mojtaba Khamenei and reaffirm the regime's hardline posture. The specific call to 'dismember' Trump and Netanyahu goes further in its personal and graphic language than previous threats. It remains unclear whether the statement represents a coordinated shift in official policy or a symbolic show of unity.
