Echoing killed father, Mojtaba Khamenei calls Israel a ‘cancerous tumor’ about to meet its demise; Sa’ar: ‘Sounds familiar’

Continuing his slain father’s rhetorical line, the X page for Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei posts that Israel is a “cancerous tumor” that is about to meet its demise.

“The shaken Zionist regime and the cancerous tumor of Israel are approaching the final stages of their wretched existence,” he tweets.

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar mocks him in response, saying the language “sounds familiar.”

“I remember someone with a similar surname who used to say it,” he says, referring to predecessor Ali Khamenei, who was killed in late February in US-Israeli strikes on Iran.

“BTW, where are you?” adds Sa’ar, referring to the fact that Mojtaba Khamenei hasn’t been seen or heard since his appointment, reportedly hunkering down in a secret location after sustaining lasting injuries in the attack that killed his father.
