Iran won’t leave Trump alone for killing Khamenei, Larijani says

Mar 7, 2026, 20:48 GMT+0

Ali Larijani, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, told the state TV on Saturday that the Islamic Republic will not "leave Trump alone" over his killing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

“Trump got a taste of what happened in Venezuela and liked it, thinking he could quickly do the same in Iran. Now he’s stuck," Larijani said.

"We will not leave him alone. He must pay the price for what he did. He killed our leader and martyred more than 1,000 of our people. This is not a simple matter.”

"We won't leave him alone until reciprocating what he did," he reiterated in a post on his X account.
