The killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and several top military commanders in US-Israeli strikes would be avenged, a senior Iranian lawmaker said on Wednesday.

“This revenge will be carried out at an appropriate time and place, with careful planning, and our enemies should expect to pay a heavy price for their actions,” said Ali Nikzad, deputy speaker of parliament.

He added that uranium enrichment was solely for “peaceful purposes,” calling it Iran’s “absolute right and a clear red line,” that remains non-negotiable.

The MP also said the Islamic Republic would continue to stand with allied forces in Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq and Syria.
