Speaker vows punishment for those behind assassination of Ayatollah Khamenei
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said the perpetrators behind the assassination of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei would ultimately be punished, stressing that his martyrdom has strengthened public resolve.
In a message on Monday, Qalibaf praised the massive funeral procession for the late Leader, who was martyred on February 28, the first day of the US-Israeli unprovoked war of aggression against Iran, emphasizing that the Islamic Republic’s system would firmly continue to stand.
The parliament speaker also said that mourning the Leader’s martyrdom had become “an epic of awareness and resolve,” adding that it had “given renewed momentum to the movement toward the definitive victory of Islamic Iran and the Islamic world.”
Addressing public demonstrations in recent months, Qalibaf noted in his message that Iranians had consistently expressed their strong opposition toward the United States and Israel.
“The people, who have served as the driving force and steadfast supporters of their Revolution for the past 47 years, have, over the past four months, chanted ‘Death to America’ and ‘Death to Israel’ every night, expressing their hatred and revulsion toward those who martyred our Leader and demanding revenge,” he stressed.
Qalibaf also vowed that those responsible for attacks on Iran and for the martyrdom of the Leader, high-ranking officials and thousands of innocent people would face punishment.
He further stressed that the “final step of vengeance” would be achieved through the “liberation of Holy al-Quds,” from the shackles of the Zionist regime.
