TL;DR

Mohammad Makbar, the senior advisor to Mojtaba Khamenei, stated Sunday afternoon that there is no replacement for Imam Khamenei and that his assassins will not die natural deaths, according to Abu Ali Express.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Senior Iranian advisor Makbar's statement Sunday follows earlier threats from within the IRGC. On July 4, Makbar himself vowed revenge for a 'slain leader' without specifying whom. The Zioneer has also reported prior claims by Khaled Mashal that Mojtaba Khamenei is dead. Makbar's latest remarks, attributed by Abu Ali Express, explicitly name Mojtaba Khamenei as the subject of the vow, declaring his assassins will face unnatural deaths. The statement does not name a specific person or group as responsible, nor does it specify a timeframe or means of revenge.
