Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has reacted to the reported death of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, describing him as a “lucky soul” who died in Jihad against those responsible for killing innocent children and women in Gaza and elsewhere.
In a Sunday post on his Facebook page, Gumi wrote, “Ayatollah Ali Khamenei: A lucky soul, he died in Jihad against killers of innocent children and women in Gaza and elsewhere. His blood will fuel the change in the ummah.
“He stood firmly for Justice and didn’t hide in bunkers. For those who killed him or assisted in killing him, let us see what they will live to do in this world.”
“In Jihad, a Martyr is buried with his blood, he’s not washed nor prayed upon!” The Islamic Sheikh wrote in another post.
Recall that Khamenei was killed on Saturday after the U.S. and Israel launched a pre-dawn assault on the country.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social on Saturday that Iran’s supreme leader was dead after the U.S. and Israel launched a military assault on the country.
“This is not only Justice for the people of Iran, but for all Great Americans, and those people from many Countries throughout the World, that have been killed or mutilated by Khamenei and his gang of bloodthirsty THUGS,” Trump posted.
Trump also called on Iranians to “take back their country”, following Mr Khamenei’s death.
“This is the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their country,” Trump said.
“Hopefully, the IRGC and Police will peacefully merge with the Iranian Patriots, and work together as a unit to bring back the Country to the Greatness it deserves.
“That process should soon be starting in that, not only the death of Khamenei but the Country has been, in only one day, very much destroyed and, even, obliterated.
“The heavy and pinpoint bombing, however, will continue, uninterrupted throughout the week or, as long as necessary to achieve our objective of PEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST AND, INDEED, THE WORLD!”
