Iranian leader vows to ‘take revenge’ for father’s death in US-Israeli strikes

Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Mojtaba Khamenei Strait of Hormuz The United States

Iran's supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has vowed to “take revenge” for those killed in the country's war with the United States, including his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Mr Khamenei said that Iran would seek compensation for all inflicted damage, blood money for martyrs, and compensation for the wounded.
The 56-year-old leader was reportedly wounded in the same strike that killed his father 40 days ago and has not been seen publicly since.
Despite speculation about his condition, Iranian officials maintain that Mr Khamenei is in “full health” and “in control of everything”.
Mr Khamenei also indicated that Iran would usher in a “new phase” for the management of the vital Strait of Hormuz.
