'Our dear leader, Imam Khamenei, was martyred at the hands of the wicked American-Zionist alliance, and I offer my condolences to the Iranian nation.

The temporary leadership council, consisting of myself, Mr. Ejei (Chief Justice) and Ayatollah Arafi has started its work—and will continue the path.

We will drive our enemies to despair by destroying their bases and all their military capabilities. We must be united in the face of the enemies' plans.'
