A 40-day mourning period has been declared.

Taking to Facebook on Sunday, Gumi described the late Iranian leader as a “lucky soul” who died in Jihad against perpetrators of injustice.

The cleric noted that the Ayatollah did not hide in bunkers like a coward.

He said, “Ayatollah Ali Khamenei: A lucky soul, he died in Jihad against killers of innocent children and women in Gaza and elsewhere.

“His blood will fuel the change in the ummah. He stood firmly for Justice and didn’t hide in bunkers.

“For those who killed him or assisted in killing him, let us see what they will live to do in this world.”
