Iranian Supreme Leader Vows Revenge Amid Ongoing Tensions with US

Tensions between Iran and the United States are showing no signs of abating. On the one hand, US President Donald Trump is willing to talk to Iran, but on the other hand, he is threatening Iran. On the other hand, Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has made a big statement. Mojtaba Khamenei has vowed to avenge the "innocent blood" of his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. In his first message after the funeral of his father and previous Supreme Leader, Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei said in a written statement released on state media that "revenge is the demand of our country and it must be carried out." Khamenei expressed his gratitude to the millions of people who attended his father's funeral with "an enemy crushing and historic presence." His father and former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, 86, died on February 28 in a ceremony that lasted for several days.
