Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei has called for revenge for the death of his father and predecessor Ali Khamenei. Vengeance was the "will of the nation", he said in a written statement read out on state TV.
It was his first public message since his father's funeral ceremonies began this week. His father was killed in an air strike on 28 February, the
first day of the US-Israeli war against Iran. Many Iranians taking part in funeral ceremonies over the past few days carried placards calling for the killing
of US President Donald Trump, who on Saturday warned that any such plans would see the US "decimate and destroy all areas" of Iran in response.
