The endorsement comes a week after Iran\u2019s Assembly of Experts appointed Ayatollah Khamenei as the third Leader of the Islamic Revolution following his father\u2019s assassination in a joint US-Israeli terrorist airstrike targeting his office in Tehran on February\u202f28.

Ayatollah Khamenei issued his first written message to the Iranian nation last week, saying he would continue his father\u2019s policies of resisting hegemony and imperialism and defending the world\u2019s oppressed. He also made clear that Iran will persist in fighting the ongoing war of aggression by the United States and Israel until the aggressors are fully punished. Based on Iran\u2019s Constitution, the Leader directly appoints senior commanders of the main branches of the Iranian military, as well as the heads of the judiciary, the Guardian Council, the Expediency Council, state television, the leaders of Friday prayers in provincial capitals, and several other organizations.
