Mojtaba Khamenei, In his first address to the nation after the recent events, Iran's Supreme Leader said that the Strait of Hormuz would remain closed to foreign warships. He also confirmed that Iran would continue its military operations against US bases in neighbouring countries.
Closing the Strait of Hormuz: Tehran's strategic move
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most important sea routes for global oil exports. Closing this waterway could have serious consequences for the global energy market. Mojtaba Khamenei stressed that this decision is a response to pressure and sanctions from the US and its allies.
Response to threats and revenge for martyrs
In his address, the Iranian leader stressed that the country has no intention of retreating and will not hesitate to avenge the blood of its martyrs. This indicates a further escalation of the conflict between Iran and the United States, which could lead to new escalations in the region.
Support for regional allies
Mojtaba Khamenei also expressed gratitude to the Lebanese movement «Hezbollah» and «To the Islamic resistance in Iraq» for their support in the confrontation with the United States and Israel. These organisations play an important role in regional military operations and political processes, strengthening Tehran's positions in the Middle East.
Thus, Iran continues to demonstrate its readiness for active defence and counteracting external pressure, which keeps the region in a state of tension.
