Khamenei: Close US bases in the region, or we will attack

Mojtaba Khamenei, the new Supreme Leader of Iran, delivered his first message after taking office, promising revenge for the blood shed by Iranians. He emphasized Iran's intention to maintain friendly relations with neighboring countries, but warned that attacks on US bases would continue, calling on countries hosting these bases to close them. Khamenei also hinted that Iran has hidden capabilities for further attacks on vulnerable targets. In his message, Khamenei reiterated Iran's opposition to domination and colonialism in the region, while emphasizing Iran's readiness for unity and sincere relations with its neighbors. At the same time, he accused the countries of the region of being responsible for attacks against Iran and the murderers of its people, urging them to close the American bases they host. The new leader of Iran stated that revenge for the martyrdom of Iranians is a priority, and that every member of the nation who loses their life at the hands of the enemy will be a separate case for revenge. He specifically referred to the crime committed at the Shajarah Tayyiba Minab girls' school, emphasizing that revenge for it will not be overlooked. Mojtaba Khamenei also expressed the difficulty of succeeding his father and Ayatollah Khomeini, but stated that he felt strength when he visited his father's body after his martyrdom. He stressed his determination to continue the path laid out by his predecessors.
