🇮🇷 🇮🇷 | Statement by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Ayatullah Sayyid Mujaba Husayni Khamenei, on the occasion of the magnificent funeral procession of the martyred Imam, Sayyid Ali Khamenei (r), in Iraq and Iran

In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

Peace be upon you, O Avenger of Allah and the son of His Avenger, the forsaken one whose blood remains unavenged. Peace be upon you, and upon your grandfather, your father, your mother, your brother, and the infallible ones from among your descendants.

Peace be upon the Imam whose life giving uprising carried the resounding echo of the Prophetic mission into the farthest depths of history, from which emerged the Islamic Revolution in Iran, a revolution that was Husayni from its very foundation and was built and elevated upon the slogan and path of Imam Husayn (A). The martyr of Iran was likewise raised upon this path. He was Husayni, he thought in the spirit of Husayn, he acted in the spirit of Husayn, he struggled and resisted in the spirit of Husayn, he lived in the spirit of Husayn, and he offered his blood in the spirit of Husayn for the sake of the school of Imam Husayn, thereby attaining martyrdom.

Among the followers of Husayn are men whose blood, when unjustly shed for the sake of Imam Husayn and for his school and path (peace be upon him), causes the Islamic Ummah to rise, joining that time with Ashura and that place with Karbala. Today, that very Husayni epic has awakened our people and bestowed a new manifestation upon the school of the great Imam Khomeini and the martyred Imam Khamenei. This is the very epic that breathes life. It is the echo of the oppressed cry of Imam Husayn (peace be upon him), the call of, "Is there anyone to help me?" which resounds first in Iran, then in Iraq and throughout the rest of the countries, shaking falsehood to its foundations.

On this occasion, I must also express my deepest gratitude and appreciation to the tens of millions of people who made their astonishing, enemy breaking, and historic presence known throughout the cities and villages of Iran and Iraq, especially in Tehran, Qom, Najaf, Karbala, and Mashhad.

Our people call for vengeance for the blood of Imam Husayn (A). For many years this great nation has offered its sons in sacrifice for the sake of Imam Husayn (A), in the war against the enemies of Husayn and against those hostile to Husayni honor. Today as well, it demands vengeance for his blood and for the blood of the Husaynis of this age.

Now I address our martyred Imam and say:

O oppressed martyr, O noble oppressed one, O righteous servant of Allah, as we bid farewell to your body with tearful eyes and broken hearts, we pledge to preserve your school, to steadfastly follow the straight path that you drew for us, never to fear the hardships of this path, and to bind our hearts, as you did, to the divine glad tidings and promises.

We also pledge that we shall avenge your pure blood and the blood of all the martyrs of these two wars from the disgraceful criminal murderers. This vengeance is the demand of our people, and it will inevitably be fulfilled. Those criminals, whose names are fully known from the first to the last, will carry with them to their graves the wish that they might die peacefully in their beds. They must know that this matter does not depend upon my existence or upon the existence of any other officials. Whether we remain or not, this promise will be fulfilled, and soon the free people of the world will each carry out a portion of this divine mission.

O martyred father of the nation, blessed are you for finally tasting the sweetness of martyrdom that you had long desired throughout your life. Blessed are you for being clothed in the garment of martyrdom with a body bearing the marks of your mother, al Zahra al Tahira, your grandfather Aba Abdillah al Husayn, and Abal Fadl al Abbas (peace be upon them all). And to your oppressed companions who were struck by the enemy in a treacherous attack and attained martyrdom, glad tidings to you, for you are now guests of that Master whose mercy and kindness you perhaps experienced time and again. That Sayyid who is the gate of Allah's mercy for all, especially for the people of these lands, is now your host, and his secure presence has become your dwelling place.

O exalted Master, O noble one, O compassionate Imam, O Aba al Hasan al Ridha al Murtadha, upon you be the finest blessings of Allah. Into this sacred soil is now laid the torn body of one of the servants of your holy presence and of the Pure Household, after years of tireless effort, struggle, and continuous jihad. Alongside him are the bodies of martyrs from his own family, each reminding us of one of the martyrs of the plains of Karbala. Here they shall rest until the day when, by the command of Allah, the Remaining Proof of Allah (may Allah hasten his noble reappearance) emerges like the radiant sun from behind the clouds of occultation, spreading the light of divine mercy across the inhabitants of the earth. On that day, which we pray is very near, he, may Allah hasten his reappearance, will be accompanied by stars among the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous. We hope that our martyred Sayyid will be among them, once again portraying scenes filled with jihad and faithfulness to the covenant of "Am I not your Lord?" Perhaps these very companions will accompany him on that day as well.

O my compassionate Master, we entrust to you our Sayyid who gave everything he possessed for your sake, together with his martyred companions, so that they may be honored by your kindness and care. Just as they enjoyed the blessings of your grace during their worldly lives, may they from this moment onward receive it in a far more complete and exalted manner.

In conclusion, we once again offer our condolences to our Master, the Remaining Proof of Allah (may Allah hasten his noble reappearance). We pray to that Merciful Master that he include the Chief Martyr of Iran, his martyred companions, and all the martyrs within his blessed supplications, that he ask the Almighty (Glorious and Exalted is He) to grant them the highest ranks, to bestow patience and reward upon their families, and to grant the oppressed Iranian people a decisive and near victory, Allah willing.

🇮🇷 | Imam Mujtaba Husayni Khamenei (H):

"Vengeance is the demand of our nation, and it will most certainly be carried out. Soon, free people across the world will each fulfill a part of this divine mission.”

I say to our martyred leader:

O oppressed martyr! O noble and steadfast oppressed one! O righteous servant of Allah! As we bid farewell to your body with tearful eyes and broken hearts, we pledge to preserve your school, to walk with steadfastness upon the straight path that you charted, never to fear the hardships of this path, and, like you, to place our hearts in the glad tidings and promises of Allah.

We pledge to avenge your pure blood and the blood of all the martyrs of these two wars from the criminal and disgraced murderers. This vengeance is the demand of our nation, and it will most certainly be carried out.

These criminals, whose names are recorded from the first to the last, will carry with them to their graves the unfulfilled wish of dying peacefully in their beds. They must know that this matter does not depend on my presence or on the presence of any other officials.

Whether we are here or not, this promise will be fulfilled, and soon free people throughout the world will each carry out a part of this divine mission.

Meanwhile, on 26 February 2026, two days before the martyrdom of Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei:

Indian regime supported Journalist Geeta Mohan: Is there a succession plan for the Supreme Leader, and will there be a day when there is a separation between the clergy and the civilian dispensation?


Araghchi replied:

Well, we have a mechanism in our constitution. There is an Assembly of Experts that, whenever needed, will elect a new Supreme Leader for the country — exactly as happened after the passing of the late Ayatollah Khomeini. In less than 24 hours they elected a new leader. That would happen whenever needed, so we have no problem with that. I have seen in US media and others that there is talk about assassinating the leader and such things. But this is a system where everybody would be replaced through a very well-established mechanism within the system itself. Nothing would go wrong.

Our system is not dependent on individuals — it is a system supported by the people. Just a few days ago, on the 47th anniversary of our revolution, a huge number of people came to the streets in our cities in support of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The number was even bigger than last year, because this year people felt that there are threats, so they came out to play their role. So I am not worried at all. Just as top commanders were immediately replaced in the middle of the war and nothing fell apart, and we were able to continue our self-defense, I'm sure that if anything like that were repeated, the system would carry on without a problem.


[We say: Curse be upon you]

🇮🇷 | Sardar Majid Mousavi, Commander of the Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), published the following:

“In a grave error, some members of the negotiating team are urging the Supreme National Security Council not to respond to the enemy’s recent aggression on Iranian soil and the martyrdom of a number of our fellow countrymen.

They are using the prospect of an imminent peace agreement with Trump as an excuse.

Can an agreement that comes at the cost of military attacks, the martyrdom of the Iranian people, and the imposition of new sanctions be justified?”

▪️@enemywatch

✅ | One can now understand the oppression and suffering endured by the IRGC under the vile influence of these officials, and how cruelly they have restrained and obstructed the leadership and the Armed Forces from retaliating. This is not something new; they have been doing it for a long time. That is why the Leader was martyred because of them. Even now, they are doing the same.

To all those who attack us because we criticize these officials, come and answer this: what kind of revolutionary are you? Are you someone who drools over free trips to Iran, or someone who truly wants to stand on the battlefield?

🇸🇾 | IOF expands around Daraa and the outskirts of Damascus:

The IOF has intensified its presence around Daraa and the outskirts of Damascus, establishing new military positions over the past several days that appear capable of supporting a broader terror campaign against Syria and neighboring countries. In the Kudna area of Quneitra Governorate, curfews have reportedly been imposed, while civilians passing through checkpoints are subjected to searches, alongside sexual harassment involving both men and women.

This is the Syria envisioned by Erdoğan and Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.

🔹@enemywatch

— And the position is: (repeating)

• "Any official who sleeps and does not think of avenging the martyred leader of the revolution should question his conscience."

• "The fear of war is worse than war itself."

• "We say 'Death to' both the Democrats and the Republicans."

• "Can Imam Husayn (A) make peace with Yazid? Can we make peace with the criminal United States?"

• "Our very identity is founded upon refusing compromise with global arrogance."

• "Anyone who seeks negotiations with the aim of making peace with the United States is a traitor."

• "Anyone who sends a message of friendship to the United States has a corrupt and impure tongue."

• "As long as the Leader Imam Sayyid Mujtaba Khamenei does not announce the end of the public gatherings, the street demonstrations will continue."

• "We cannot back down."

• "Negotiations mean war. War takes different forms."

• "We are at war."

• "Anyone who seeks negotiations in order to make peace with America is a traitor."

• "Anyone who sends a message of friendship to America has a vile and impure mouth."

• "If people are chanting for revenge, we should not call them extremists or hardliners."

• "They are the very same people who have preserved the country."

— Holding those responsible accountable is both a legal and moral demand. We should not feed into the enemy's narrative by dismissing every major event as a false flag. Iranians and Shias believe those responsible for the killing of the Leader should face their fate. No state or political leader is beyond accountability, and actions have consequences. Whatever political developments follow, they should not distract from the central issue of responsibility for the assassination or from the broader regional and political realities. It is clear from the funeral epic and today's Leader's statement that if Iran, or anyone following the religious demand to complete this mission, acts accordingly, they must be supported instead of having it called a false flag based solely on assumptions.
