In written statement, Iran’s new supreme leader said to mourn slain IRGC intel chief
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIn a written statement attributed to him, Iran’s new supreme leader expresses condolences over the killing of the Revolutionary Guard’s intelligence chief.
In the social media post, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei ostensibly says Maj. Gen. Majid Khademi joined a “steadfast line of warriors and fighters” to sacrifice their lives. He says such actions will not deter Iranian forces.
Israeli strikes have killed dozens of top Iranian leaders, including Khamenei’s father.
The younger Khamenei has not been seen, nor has he spoken in public, since he succeeded his father as supreme leader last month.
