Published on
Revenge for Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s death “must take place on American soil,” the supreme leader’s representative at an Iranian state newspaper demanded on Monday.
“The effort to avenge Supreme Leader must take place on American soil itself,” Hussein Shariatmadari wrote for the paper.
Hand-selected by Khamenei as editor-in-chief for Kayhan newspaper, Shariatmadari wrote that Iranian negotiators should also demand that President Trump be extradited to Tehran to face punishment for the war.
“The first step in fulfilling the Leader’s demands in the negotiations is to insist on handing Trump over to the Islamic Republic for trial in Iran’s judicial authorities,” he said.
