The Intelligence Ministry of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a statement at the official funeral of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei vowing to avenge his killing from the United States and Israel, according to Persian-language channels. The statement called the U.S.-Israeli 'enemy' perpetrators of the 'greatest crime and conspiracy in modern history,' and said the 'pained hearts of the nation' will find solace only in revenge against the perpetrators.
The Intelligence Ministry of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a statement Saturday at the official funeral of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, vowing to exact revenge against the United States and Israel for his killing, according to reports on Persian-language channels. The statement characterized the killing as the 'greatest crime and conspiracy in modern history' perpetrated by an 'American-Israeli enemy' and warned that the 'pained hearts of the nation' will not be comforted until vengeance is taken against those responsible.
The threat follows a series of similar vows from senior Iranian officials since Khamenei's death, including the IRGC commander's promise at Friday's funeral to 'wipe out the Zionists,' and separate statements from the commander-in-chief and national security chief (as The Zioneer reported on July 2-3). The current statement originates from the IRGC's intelligence wing, which oversees foreign operations and proxy networks.
It remains unclear whether the statement reflects a coordinated shift toward operational planning or is part of the regime's domestic funeral messaging. No specific target, timeline, or method of retaliation was disclosed in the published text.
