Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, said today that revenge is inevitable after the death of his father, who was killed on February 28 in Israeli-American airstrikes, on the first day of the war against Iran, the local IRNA agency reported.

The Ayatollah made the announcement in a written message, his first public statement since the funeral of his father and predecessor Ali Khamenei.

"I tell our martyred leader that we swear to avenge his pure blood and the blood of all the martyrs of these two wars, which was shed by criminals and dishonorable murderers," wrote Mojtaba Khamenei, who was appointed in March but has not appeared in public since.

"Revenge is the will of our nation and must inevitably be carried out. These criminals, whose names are on the list, will take to their graves the wish for a peaceful death in their beds," Khamenei added.

US President Donald Trump accused Iran on Friday of plotting to assassinate him, returning to war rhetoric and once again vowing to destroy the country, after the breakdown of a ceasefire between the two countries.

"Orders have already been given and the US military is ready, willing and able, within a year, which may be extended, to decimate and completely destroy every region of Iran," the US president wrote on his Twitter platform.
