Every Drop of Blood Will Be Avenged: Mojtaba Khamenei  ( Blood )

Iran: The first statement from Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has emerged following the assassination—allegedly by Israel—of Iran’s Security Chief, Ali Larijani, and Intelligence Minister, Esmail Khatib. Mojtaba has expressed deep outrage over the killing of Ali Larijani and the country’s Intelligence Minister, Esmail Khatib. He stated that every drop of blood    ( Blood )  demands retribution. The perpetrators will soon have to pay the price for their (Larijani and Esmail’s) blood.

Grief Expressed Over Martyrdom
In a message issued on the matter, Mojtaba further stated: “With deep sorrow, I received the tragic news regarding the martyrdom of Dr. Ali Larijani—Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council and the Leader’s Representative within the Council—along with his capable son and several colleagues. I receive this tragic news with profound grief and condolences. He was a man endowed with immense knowledge, foresight, and wisdom. He was deeply dedicated and possessed diverse experience across political, military, security, cultural, and administrative spheres. Nearly five decades of active service at various levels within the Islamic system had established him as a prominent and distinguished figure. Undoubtedly, the assassination of such a great personality underscores his significance and the animosity harbored against him by the enemies of Islam. In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful: ‘Do not mistake those who have been killed in the path of Allah for the dead. Nay, they are alive and are being sustained in the presence of their Lord.'” Every Drop of Blood Shall Be Avenged
Mujtaba further wrote that the adversaries of Islam should realize that shedding the blood of such noble individuals at the roots of the vast tree of the Islamic order will only serve to make that tree even stronger. And indeed, every drop of blood demands retribution—a debt that the criminal killers of these martyrs will soon be made to pay.
