Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, pinpointed the United States and Israel as the “most obstinate enemies of the Islamic world” and announced that he will follow on the path of Imam Khomeini and the martyred leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, said in a series of posts on X on Wednesday that Iran will continue to follow the path of its martyred leaders and vowed to continue resistance against what he called the ‘Zionist-US’ enemy while hailing the sacrifice and martyrdom of senior military figures in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Hezbollah as the war in West Asia entered its second month.
Pinpointing the United States and Israel as the “most obstinate enemies of the Islamic world,” Mojtaba wrote, “Without a doubt, steadfastness and patience in the face of the most obstinate enemies of the Islamic world—namely, the United States and its proxy in the region, the brutal Zionist regime—were some of the most outstanding characteristics of the martyred Leader and Imam.”
Mojtaba then announced that he will follow on the path of Imam Khomeini and the martyred Leader, saying, “I emphatically declare that the consistent policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, following on the path of Imam Khomeini and the martyred Leader, is to continue supporting the Resistance against the Zionist-US enemy.”
In posts shared from an account attributed to him, Mojtaba Khamenei also paid tributes to leaders from Iran-backed Hezbollah and the country’s own military establishment IRGC. He referred to Hassan Nasrallah, Hashem Safieddine, and Qasem Soleimani, describing their deaths as sacrifices in the struggle against the United States and Israel.

He wrote, “Before any of the other fighters, the commanders of the Resistance offered their lives on this path, from Martyr Sheikh #Ragheb_Harb and #Sayyid_Abbas_Mousavi to the Master of the Martyrs of the Resistance, #Sayyid_Hassan_Nasrallah, and #Sayyid_Hashem_Safieddine.”
“The sacrifices of precious martyrs such as Haj Qasem Soleimani and other senior commanders of IRGC and the Army stand as the greatest testament to the correctness of the path of resistance against the US and the Zionist regime,” he wrote, adding, “The history of the Islamic Resistance has been filled with struggle, courage, and the pursuit of martyrdom.”

Earlier this week, in a message addressed to Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem, Mojtaba had reiterated Iran’s continued backing for resistance movements.
The statement, reported by Iranian state media, highlighted that Tehran’s approach remains aligned with the legacy of former leaders, including Ali Khamenei, while also acknowledging support extended by Hezbollah fighters.
