Khamenei threatens revenge
Iran will avenge the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
It is the "will of the Iranian nation", according to his son Mojtaba Khamenei.
The statement is the first from Iran's supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei since his father Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was buried on Thursday.
"We swear to avenge the blood of the murdered leader and the blood of all martyrs from these two wars. Revenge will fall on the criminal and disgraced murderers", Khamenei writes on social media.
The ayatollah was killed in a joint American and Israeli attack on February 28 this year.
At the same time, the Iranian state news agency Fars states that reports that Iran is requesting new negotiations with the United States are false.
No negotiations will take place until the US withdraws from its positions, Fars writes, citing an "informed source."
