“A lucky soul, he died in Jihad against killers of innocent children and women in Gaza and elsewhere,” the cleric wrote.

Gumi added that the late Iranian leader’s blood “will fuel the change in the ummah,” noting that Khamenei “stood firmly for justice and didn’t hide in bunkers.”

He further stated: “For those who killed him or assisted in killing him, let us see what they will live to do in this world.”

Khamenei, who served for decades as Iran’s Supreme Leader, was a central figure in the country’s political and religious leadership. News of his reported killing has generated reactions in different parts of the world.
