War message from Mojtaba Khamenei: Calling for Muslim uprising and revenge – Hormuz remains closed

In the name of Allah... revenge is coming. This was the essence of the first message addressed by Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, making it clear that Tehran will not abandon the "revenge for the blood of the martyrs." As he emphasized, every Iranian killed by the enemy constitutes a separate case for vengeance, while he warned that the process of retaliation has already begun and will continue until full retribution is achieved. At the same time, he underlined that Iran will remain determined to defend the country and respond to every attack with even more powerful strikes.

He made specific reference to strategic pressure through the Strait of Hormuz, stating that Tehran will continue to use the closure of this critical maritime passage as leverage. Simultaneously, he announced the possibility of opening new fronts against Iran's adversaries, noting that areas where enemies are "particularly vulnerable" have already been identified. In the same vein, he thanked the forces of the so-called "Resistance Front," such as Hezbollah, Yemen, and pro-Iranian forces in Iraq, pointing out that their joint action will increase the pressure against Israel and its allies.

The first written message from Iran's new leader Mojtaba Khamenei to the Iranian people

The first written message to the Iranian nation was released by the new Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, addressing the people, the armed forces, regional countries, and the so-called "resistance front."

"In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate" "No divine command is canceled or forgotten without being replaced by something better or similar." At the beginning of my words, I must express my condolences to our Lord for the painful martyrdom of the great leader of the Revolution, the beloved and wise Khamenei. I pray for the well-being of the entire great people of Iran, all the Muslims of the world, the servants of the Islamic Revolution, the fighters, and the families of the martyrs, especially those of the recent war.

"The responsibility of leadership and the role of the people"

I now turn to the great people of Iran. I learned, as you did, through state television, the result of the decision of the Assembly of Experts regarding the assumption of leadership. For me, it is particularly difficult to sit in the seat where two great leaders sat: Imam Khomeini and the martyr leader Khamenei. This is an office served by a man who, after more than 60 years of struggle in the way of God, became one of the most distinguished figures not only of our time but of the entire history of the country. I had the honor of seeing his body after his death. What I witnessed was a symbol of strength and determination. The responsibility of leadership after such a personality is extremely heavy and can only be achieved with the help of God and the support of the people.

"The strength of the people of Iran"

One of the greatest achievements of the martyr leader was that he brought the people to the center of all state affairs. He strengthened the political consciousness of the people and relied on their strength. This was clearly seen in recent days, when the country found itself without a supreme leader and commander-in-chief of the armed forces. The insight, determination, and courage of the Iranian people caused admiration in friends and surprise in enemies. You, the people, held the country upright and guaranteed its strength.

"Unity, faith, and active presence"

The new leader of Iran called upon the citizens:

• to maintain the unity of the nation,

• to rely on faith in God,

• to continue their active presence in social and political life. He made special mention of the importance of mass participation in Quds Day events, emphasizing that these must have a strong confrontational character against the enemies.

"Support for the victims and the martyrs"

Mojtaba Khamenei also expressed solidarity with the families of the victims and those who were injured or lost their property. He even referred to personal losses he has experienced, emphasizing that patience and faith in God are the strength that helps people endure such trials.

"We will not renounce revenge"

In a particularly stern tone, the new leader of Iran stated that the country will not abandon revenge for the dead. As he stated: "We will not renounce revenge for the blood of the martyrs. The vengeance we seek does not only concern the martyr leader of the Revolution. Every member of the nation murdered by the enemy constitutes a separate case for revenge." He also noted that part of this revenge has already been carried out, but the process will continue until it is fully completed.

"The Strait of Hormuz and new military options"

Addressing the armed forces, Mojtaba Khamenei thanked them for their actions and emphasized that the people demand a continuation of "effective and deterrent defense."

At the same time, he underlined that:

• the strategy of pressure through the Strait of Hormuz will continue,

• the opening of new fronts where adversaries are particularly vulnerable is being considered.

"Support for the Resistance Front"

The leader of Iran also thanked the forces of the so-called "Resistance Front," specifically mentioning:

• Yemen,

• Hezbollah,

• the resistance forces in Iraq. As he stated, cooperation between these forces will accelerate the defeat of the "Zionist project."

"Message to the countries of the region"

In his message to the countries of the Middle East, Mojtaba Khamenei stressed that Iran desires good relations with its neighbors. However, he warned that:

• military bases used by foreign forces for attacks against Iran will be targets,

• regional states should reconsider their cooperation with the United States.

"Commitment to continue the path of the Revolution"

In closing, the new leader of the Islamic Republic promised that he would continue the path of the Islamic Revolution and thanked:

• the religious leaders,

• the political and social personalities,

• and the Iranian people for their support. The message concludes with a prayer for Iran's victory over its enemies and for the prosperity of the people.
