BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 12. Iran won’t refuse
to take revenge for its losses, the Supreme Leader of Iran, Mojtaba
Khamenei, said in his address to the Iranian citizens, Trend reports.
He asserts that this retribution will serve not just the Supreme
Leader of Iran, but also all Iranian citizens who have lost their
lives.
The Supreme Leader of Iran indicated that a portion of this
retribution has been executed in a brief timeframe.
“If the revenge isn’t fully realized, criminal cases will be
collected, and special attention will be paid to those related to
children and infants,” he delineated
Khamenei expressed his condolences on the death of the late
Supreme Leader of Iran, his wife, sister, and other family
members.
“As much as possible, assistance will be provided to the
victims. Those responsible should take steps in this direction and
inform me,” he noted.
Since no concrete agreement was reached in negotiations between
the United States and Iran over the nuclear program, the U.S. and
Israel began military airstrikes against Iran on February 28. In
response, Iran launched missile and drone attacks on Israel and
U.S. military facilities located in countries across the region,
starting the same day.
On the first day of the air strikes against Iran, Iran’s Supreme
Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and several high-ranking
military officials were killed. On March 8, Iran’s Assembly of
Experts elected Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Ayatollah
Seyyed Ali Khamenei, as Iran’s third Supreme Leader by majority
vote.
Between March 1 and March 5, the confrontation expanded further,
affecting several countries across the Middle East.
According to reports, the U.S. side suffered losses of 8 dead
and more than 140 wounded.
As a result of the conflict, the region’s energy infrastructure
and maritime transportation have also come under serious risk. Due
to heightened security tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, global
oil prices have surged sharply, and several countries have urged
their citizens to leave the region.
