Iran’s Supreme Leader pledges revenge for slain father and predecessor

Late supreme leader laid to rest as lingering regional tensions simmer

Ali Khamenei ruled Iran – as a spiritual leader and an iron-fisted autocrat – for nearly four decades.

Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has vowed revenge for the killing of his father in U.S.–Israeli airstrikes, escalating tensions at a moment when a fragile ceasefire is already faltering and the threat of renewed war looms.

Mojtaba Khamenei, who didn't appear in public during the funeral ceremonies, didn't specifically mention Trump.
