Iranian state media and IRGC channels report that the Defense Council has sworn absolute allegiance to the newly appointed third Supreme Leader, Hazrat Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei.
Iran's Defense Council has formally sworn absolute military and ideological allegiance to newly appointed Supreme Leader Hazrat Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei. The synchronized declarations across state media mark the official military endorsement of the third Leader of the Islamic Revolution.
According to the official state news agency خبرگزاری ایرنا (IRNA), the Defense Council issued a statement congratulating the Imam of the Time and the noble nation of Islamic Iran on the historic election. In a direct vow of fealty to the new leadership, the council declared they will remain "obedient to the Commander-in-Chief and Guardian of the Muslims" down to their last drop of blood. The state outlet's publication heavily emphasized martial steadfastness, pledging to guard the revolution's values just like the brave martyred commanders of the Defense Council in the Ramadan War.
The military-aligned کانال اخبار سپاه پاسداران 🏴 (IRGC News Channel) aggressively amplified this declaration of loyalty, framing the transition as a definitive consolidation of the regime's ideological foundations. Honoring the previous leadership, the IRGC channel stated that through this succession, the "path and ideals of the Great Imam Khomeini and the martyred Imam of the Revolution were consolidated and made permanent". Both channels present a unified, heavily militarized posture of total institutional submission to Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei's absolute authority.
Both source channels represent the official voice of the Iranian state and military apparatus. The texts utilize highly stylized religious and militaristic terminology (e.g., 'Imam of the Time', 'Guardian of the Muslims') typical of Iranian regime communications. The reference to the 'martyred Imam of the Revolution' indicates the prior Supreme Leader's death is being framed officially as a martyrdom. The 'Ramadan War' is referenced as a recent or defining military conflict involving martyred commanders.
