- Mar 13, 2026, 06:35 PMIran's new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has released his first public message after the death of his father, Ali Khamenei. His father had led Iran since 1989 and was reportedly killed during the early stage of the conflict involving the United States and Israel. The attack also killed several Iranian security officials and members of the Khamenei family. In his message, Mojtaba Khamenei promised that Iran would seek revenge for the deaths.
The statement was read on Iranian state television instead of being delivered directly by the new leader. There was no video, audio recording, or new photograph of him. The broadcast only showed an old image of Mojtaba Khamenei alongside a computer-generated flag of Iran. Because of this, many people are still unsure about his current location and health condition.
In the message, Khamenei strongly rejected any idea of peace with Iran's enemies. He said the country would continue pursuing revenge until justice is achieved. According to him, Iran may demand compensation from its enemies, and if they refuse, the country could respond by seizing or destroying their property in return.
Khamenei also referred to a deadly attack on a school in the southern Iranian city of Minab. Iranian officials say the strike killed about 150 people and blamed the United States for the incident. However, reports from American investigations suggested the missile hit the school due to a targeting mistake during military operations.
The new leader also warned that Iran has several ways to pressure its opponents. One of the strategies mentioned was the possibility of blocking the Strait of Hormuz, a very important route through which a large portion of the world's oil supply passes. He also hinted that Iran could open new fronts in the conflict through allies and groups across the region if the war continues.
Finally, Khamenei spoke emotionally about the personal losses he suffered in the attack. He praised his father as a great historical figure and said he saw his body after the strike. He also confirmed that his wife, sister, nephew, and brother-in-law were killed in the same incident. Despite these losses, he said he would remain firm and continue leading Iran during this difficult time.
