Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei made his pledge in a statement on his official website, after Iranian President Hassan Rouhani used a televised statement to accuse Israel of the killing. All Israeli embassies around the world have now been put on high alert. Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was injured after gunmen fired at his car in an ambush near Tehran. He died later in hospital.
