We have prepared for all scenarios, and even in the event of Imam Khamenei's death there is planning in place, said Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, IRNA reports.

According to Qalibaf, the US and Israel "have crossed a red line and must pay the price for it."

"For the Islamic Republic, this war is not merely existential — the time for final retribution has come. We will settle scores with the Americans and Israelis. You have crossed our red line — we will strike you with such devastating blows that you yourselves will be forced to beg for mercy," IRNA quoted Qalibaf as saying.
