Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei on Saturday pledged to avenge the killing of his father and predecessor, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, describing it as a national obligation, according to a message published on his official Telegram account along with X.

Khamenei issued the message on the occasion of funeral ceremonies for his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, held months after he was killed in the U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on February 28.

In his written message, Mojtaba Khamenei said the Iranian people remained committed to seeking retribution for those killed during the recent conflicts. He vowed that the deaths of his father and others who died in what he described as two wars would not go unanswered.

“The demand of the nation is revenge, and it must certainly be fulfilled,” the message said, adding that Iran was committed to avenging “the blood of the martyred leader and all the martyrs” against those he referred to as the perpetrators.

The remarks come as Iran continues to hold nationwide funeral events for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei amid heightened regional tensions following months of conflict involving Iran, the United States and Israel.
