Iran Lawmaker Threatens Revenge Against U.S. Over Reported Death of Khamenei

An Iranian lawmaker on the parliament’s national security and foreign policy committee warned Tuesday that Tehran intends to retaliate against the United States over what he called the “assassination” of Iran’s top political and religious leader.

Abbas Golrou, a member of Iran's parliament national security and foreign policy committee, said Iran “will not forget this loss” and vowed revenge, referring to the reported death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in U.S.-Israeli strikes in February.

Golrou accused Washington of being a “rogue state” and claimed the U.S. was responsible for killing senior Iranian military and political officials.

The comments are another sign of Tehran’s continued threats against America and Israel as the Iranian regime faces the consequences of its long-running terror network across the Middle East.
