The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) top commander has vowed revenge against the US and ‘Israel’ over the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, saying the incident would not “be erased from the historical memory.”
Brigadier-General Ahmad Vahidi called for what he described as “justice” and a response against those responsible, accusing the US military of committing crimes.
“The criminal leaders of America and all enemies of the Islamic Revolution and the Resistance Front must know that by the cowardly assassination of this divine leader they will never bring the flag of resistance to the ground,” Vahidi said in a statement carried by Sepah news agency.
He added that “avenging the martyrs and punishing the perpetrators” would remain a “definitive and unforgettable demand.”
Vahidi’s remarks came after Khamenei was buried in Mashhad on Thursday, four months after he and four members of his family were killed in US-‘Israeli’ airstrikes, according to Iranian reports.
