Harsh revenge awaits Daesh terrorists: Ayatollah Khatami

Tehran's interim Friday Prayer Leader Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami pledged that Iran would take “harsh revenge” against Daesh terrorists for decapitating an IRGC military adviser in Syria.

According to Tasnim News Agency, addressing a large gathering of worshipers in Tehran on Friday, Ayatollah Khatami paid tribute to martyrs defending the holy shrines, saying Martyr Mohsen Hojaji proved that the third generation of Iranian youth after the 1979 Islamic Revolution is steadfast in reaching the revolution’s objectives.

The religious scholar further expressed his gratitude to world-renowned Iranian commander Major General Qassem Soleimani for his major role in the fight against Takfiri groups in Syria and said, “Harsh revenge awaits them (Daesh terrorists).”

The corrupt group (Daesh) is fighting against God and the Prophet, Ayatollah Khatami said, adding that God willing, the terrorists, particularly the one who killed Martyr Hojaji, will be annihilated.
