Iranian cleric warns retaliation necessary for future leadership security
Alireza Panahian, a hardline Iranian cleric close to the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, warned that failure to seek revenge for Khamenei’s death would jeopardize the security of future leaders.
"If revenge for Khamenei is not taken, the security of future leaders will be endangered," Panahian said during a speech on Wednesday. He also called on officials to reject any ceasefire requests, urging, "Now that we have the upper hand, destroy them."
