After his father Ali Khamenei was killed in the US-Israel attacks, Mojtaba Khamenei, who was elected as the new religious leader in Iran, made a statement days later. Khamenei issued a condolence message for Ali Larijani, the Secretary of the Iranian Supreme National Security Council, who lost his life in the Israeli attack.
KHAMENEY'S CONDOLENCE MESSAGE FOR LARIJANI
Khamenei said: "I received the painful news of the martyrdom of the esteemed Dr. Ali Larijani, the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council and the Leader's representative in the Council, as well as his respected son and some of his colleagues with great sorrow.
He was a knowledgeable, visionary, intelligent, and selfless person with extensive experience in various political, military, security, cultural, and administrative fields. His nearly fifty years of work at different levels of the Islamic system had made him an outstanding personality.
"THEY WILL PAY THE PRICE"
Undoubtedly, the killing of such a personality demonstrates his importance and the enmity that the enemies of Islam have towards him. The enemies of Islam should know that shedding this blood on the strong tree of the Islamic system will only strengthen it further, and of course, every blood has a price, and the murderous perpetrators of the martyrs will soon have to pay that price.
I extend my heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones, especially to Ayatollah Amoli Larijani, and I pray for their elevation in ranks."
