Ibrahim Raisi, a member of the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, said in an interview with IranWatch that revenge against the United States and Israel for the killing of the former leader of the Islamic Republic is definite, and those who carried out and ordered this action must be prepared for “severe punishment.”

Raisi said: “We will, without question, not let the blood of our martyred Imam go unanswered. Revenge against the United States and Israel is definite. The killers and the masterminds behind the assassination of the leadership must be awaiting severe punishment.”

He also emphasized, regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, that until the Islamic Republic’s conditions are accepted and fully implemented, this strait will not be opened.

This member of parliament said: “Opening the Strait of Hormuz requires the other side to accept all the conditions of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
