Iran must avenge the killing of its supreme leader by the United States and Israel, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, a member of parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, told Mehr news agency.

“We must certainly avenge our leader’s blood against America and Israel,” he said, while arguing that Iran should also recognize what he described as positive developments within society following attacks on the country.

Despite wartime losses and damage, Boroujerdi said the conflict had brought military and political gains.

He also said the Islamic Republic’s air defense and aerial attack capabilities would undergo a transformation.
