Khamenei Vows Revenge for Larjani's Killing

Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has vowed that those responsible for the assassination of Ali Larijani, the head of Iran's National Security Council, will be held accountable. In a written message, he emphasized Larijani's importance and the hatred of Islam's enemies towards him, stressing that every death demands retribution. The statement comes days after Larijani's death in an Israeli airstrike. US and Israeli officials report that Mojtaba Khamenei may have been injured in the leg during the attack that killed his father, and has not appeared publicly since his appointment.
