UK Defence Secretary John Healey says few will mourn Ayatollah Khamenei, calling Iran’s regime a source of evil and terror.
LONDON: UK Defence Secretary John Healey stated on Sunday that “few people will mourn” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
This marked the British government’s first public response to the death of the Iranian supreme leader in US-Israeli strikes.
Healey told Sky News that “Iran and the regime he’s led for so long, it’s a source of evil, murdering its own citizens and sponsoring and exporting terror, including to countries like Britain”.
He added that “the concern now, of course, is this regime is lashing out… in an increasingly indiscriminate and widespread way, and people will be really concerned that it’s not just military targets”.
