IRAN: Regime Declares Weekly Friday Prayers Will Include Calls To Avenge Khamenei

Jul 10, 2026·2 min read

Iran’s regime is institutionalizing calls to avenge the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, announcing that prayers for revenge will now become a permanent part of Friday prayer services across the country.

According to Iranian media, Abolhassan Fatemi, the Friday prayer leader in Shahrekord, declared that worshippers will now hear calls for vengeance every week.

“From now on, every Friday, during Friday prayers, we will raise the call for revenge and blood vengeance,” Fatemi said. “Revenge against the oppressors must remain at the top of the Islamic Republic’s priorities.”

At the same time, senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Ahmad Vahidi insisted that Khamenei’s death would not weaken what Tehran calls the “Axis of Resistance”—its network of terror proxies across the Middle East.

“The criminal leaders of America and all enemies of the Islamic Revolution and the Resistance Front should know that by assassinating this leader they will never be able to extinguish the light, weaken the will of the believing nations, or bring down the banner of resistance,” Vahidi said.

He added that Khamenei’s death has become “a flowing spring of awakening, honor, strength and unity for the Islamic nation,” and said the demand to punish those responsible for his killing will remain “absolute, legitimate, and unforgettable.”
