Recall that Khamenei was killed on the first day of the warlaunched by the US and Israel on Saturday. “There is no doubt that the imaginary, invented Iranian threat,repeatedly stated over many years, was merely a pretext for the implementationof a long-cherished plan to violently overthrow the constitutional order of asovereign state... that Washington and Tel Avivdislike,” Zakharova said.
