from al Mayadeen English
Sayyed Mojtaba Khamenei,
the third leader of Iran's Revolution and the Islamic Republic of Iran,
pledged that Iran will continue its retaliation against US and Israeli
military targets while maintaining the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
In his first public message after
assuming leadership, Sayyed Mojtaba Khamenei began by mourning his
father, the martyred leader of the Islamic Revolution, Sayyed Ali
Khamenei, eulogizing his martyrdom as a profound loss for Iran and the
wider resistance front.
"Sitting in the place once occupied by
the two great leaders of this nation, the great Khomeini and the
martyred Khamenei, is an immense responsibility. This platform was once
held by a man who, after more than sixty years of struggle in the path
of God and renouncing worldly comforts, became a shining jewel and a
distinguished figure not only in our time but in the history of those
who governed this country."
He extended condolences to the Iranian
nation and the Muslim world, praising the martyred leader’s decades of
struggle and leadership while vowing to continue the path of resistance
and national sovereignty.
Sayyed Khamenei also addressed families affected by the US-Israeli war,
expressing condolences to those who lost relatives or whose homes and
livelihoods were damaged. For the injured, he pledged free medical
treatment and additional benefits.
Speaking on his personal loss, he noted
that he not only lost his father, but he also lost his dear wife and his
devoted sister.
Vowing justice, Sayyed Mojtaba Khamenei
said his country would not retreat from confronting those responsible
for the martyrdom of Iranian citizens and leaders.
“We will not retreat from avenging the
blood of our martyrs,” he stated, adding that “the closure of the Strait
of Hormuz must continue.”
Sayyed Mojtaba Khamenei emphasized that
Iranian strikes would remain focused on military installations rather
than civilian targets, particularly bases used by US forces in the region...
