Iran vows to pursue justice over killing of Supreme Leader

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said seeking justice for the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is "a serious principle" for the Islamic Republic.

"The government has a clear responsibility. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is part of this process," Baghaei said during a press conference in Tehran.

"At the international level, we will use all available legal and international mechanisms and instruments to document the crimes committed by the United States and Israel and pursue justice," he added.

Baghaei also said Iran is seeking to agree with Oman on a joint mechanism for managing the Strait of Hormuz, but claimed that U.S. pressure on Muscat has hindered those efforts.
