The secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council stated Wednesday that the file of revenge for the blood of late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and Iran's 'innocent martyrs' remains open, warning that those who gave the orders and carried out the crimes 'will face their punishment in due time — and that day is not far off,' according to a statement carried by Iranian outlet Abu Ali Express.
The secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council issued a statement Wednesday noon reiterating that the Islamic Republic's pledge to avenge the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei remains active. The official said 'those who gave the orders and carried out these crimes will face their punishment in due time — and that day is not far off,' without specifying a target, timeline, or method of response. The statement was carried by the Iranian outlet Abu Ali Express, a single source at this stage.
This is the latest in a series of Iranian threats following Khamenei's assassination. As The Zioneer reported on June 14, another senior security council official — Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr — said 'the response of the Islamic warriors is on the way.' On June 28, Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei declared a 'legal war' ordering mass prosecutions of US and Israeli leaders. Iranian media outlets, including the daily Hamshahri, have also carried calls for revenge, and a red revenge flag was raised at the site of Khamenei's death.
The repeated threats from multiple official channels suggest a sustained campaign of psychological and rhetorical escalation rather than an imminent military strike, though the regime's internal dynamics and the question of operational readiness remain opaque.
