'Murderers' must pay for killing Iran's Larijani: Mojtaba Khamenei

Iran's new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, said Wednesday in a written message that the killers of Security Chief Ali Larijani, who died in an Israeli strike, "will have to pay for it."

"Without a doubt, the assassination of such a figure attests to his importance and to the hatred that the enemies of Islam harbour toward him," Mojtaba Khamenei said, in a message published on his official Telegram channel on the day of Larijani's funeral in Tehran.

"Every drop of spilled blood comes at a price, and the criminal murderers of these martyrs will soon have to pay it," added Mojtaba Khamenei, who has yet to appear in public after taking office following the killing of his father, ex-supreme leader Ali Khamenei, at the start of the war.
