Tehran. A top Iranian official, Ali Larijani, has warned that Iran will take revenge for the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, threatening to 'stab the heart of America'.

Larijani is the Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council. 'The Americans have stabbed the heart of the Iranian people, and we will stab their heart too,' he said. He also promised further retaliation against American and Israeli forces. 'The response from our armed forces will be very strong,' he stated.

'They should know that they cannot strike and run away,' he added. Larijani is a top decision-maker in Iran and was also a key advisor to Khamenei. He mentioned that an interim leadership structure, including the President and the Chief Justice, would be established soon.

Larijani also stated that Iran is not at war with other countries in the region but will continue its attacks targeting US military bases in the Middle East. He emphasized, 'This must be made clear forever: the Americans cannot intimidate the Iranian nation.'
