Iran will never relent in pursuit of revenge against Leader’s assassins: Army chief
Iran will never abandon its quest for revenge over the assassination of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Army chief said, more than four months after he was martyred in a US-Israeli airstrike.
Major General Amir Hatami made the remarks on Sunday, on the second day of public funerals held for Ayatollah Khamenei and his martyred family members.
“Those who committed this crime must know that the nation of Iran and all of us will never cease in our pursuit of and demand for justice. We will not let go of them, and this is a definitive decision that we will follow through until we achieve results,” said Hatami.
Ayatollah Khamenei, along with his daughter, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, granddaughter, and several top military commanders, were martyred in the attack targeting his office in Tehran on February 28, the opening day of the US-Israeli aggression on Iran.
The aggression prompted a massive Iranian response, including attacks on US military bases and assets in the region, as well as missile strikes on Israeli-occupied territories.
However, Iranian authorities have repeatedly said that the country seeks a final and definitive revenge for the assassination of Ayatollah Khamenei, a revered cleric and a source of emulation for Muslims around the world.
The late Leader was 86 when he was assassinated by the US and the Israeli regime. He was the second most prominent figure in Iran’s post-Revolution history and succeeded the founder of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini, in 1989 after serving two four-year presidential terms.
People have been turning out in their millions at Tehran’s Mosalla mosque to bid farewell to Ayatollah Khamenei and his family members.
Ayatollah Khamenei will be laid to rest in the holy shrine of Imam Reza (AS) in his hometown of Mashhad on Thursday, after three days of funeral processions in Tehran, the central city of Qom, and in Iraq.
