Iran's supreme leader pledges revenge for father's death

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei has vowed to seek revenge for the death of his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a U.S.-Israeli airstrike on February 28. The younger Khamenei, who has not been publicly seen since the beginning of the conflict, claimed that avenging his father's death is a national demand. He called for retaliation against those responsible for the deaths of his family members and other martyrs. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump escalated tensions by threatening further missile strikes against Iran if there were any attempts to assassinate him. Trump stated that 1,000 missiles were ready and aimed at Iran, with more available if needed. The U.S. also demanded that Iran confirm the Strait of Hormuz remains open for shipping traffic. Iran has refused to comply with these demands, maintaining its stance that the strait should remain under its control. Recent airstrikes between the U.S. and Iran have intensified regional tensions, with both sides exchanging retaliatory fire.
