Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, has issued a rare written statement offering his condolences for the death of Iran’s intelligence chief.
The message, posted to social media, mourned the death of Brigadier General Majid Khademi, of the Revolutionary Guard Corps.

In his message, Khamenei said the slain chief joined a “steadfast line of warriors and fighters” who had sacrificed their lives for Iran, vowing such actions would not deter Iranian forces.
The supreme leader, who was appointed following the killing of his father by US and Israel that triggered the conflict on February 28, has not been seen publicly since his appointment.
