"Undoubtedly, indifference and inaction in the face of the organised crimes and oppression of the United States and the Zionist regime will embolden aggressors and place the world and future generations under the shadow of grave consequences," the statement added. Holding the "architects and perpetrators of this criminal scheme--the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime" responsible, it termed them "among the most corrupt and criminal figures of the contemporary world." "The martyrdom of this great Leader and distinguished son of Iran will not impede the path of dignity, independence, and resistance of the Iranian nation. Rather, it will further strengthen national resolve and unity in defending Iran's sovereignty and rights," it said. It stated, "This martyrdom marks not the end of a path, but the beginning of a new chapter of responsibility and historic steadfastness."
