In first remarks, Iran’s new supreme head vows to avenge martyrs, keep Strait of Hormuz closed
Iran will avenge the blood of its martyrs, keep the Strait of Hormuz closed and assault US bases, new Supreme Head Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei stated on Thursday in a comment read out on province television, his first remarks since succeeding his father following his assassination.
In the defiant address, Khamenei stated the United States must close all its bases in the zone. The strait, which runs past Iran’s coast and supplies a fifth of the world’s oil, should remain shut to put pressure on the enemy, he stated.
“The lever of blocking the Strait of Hormuz must definitely be used,” Khamenei stated of the waterway.
Ayatollah Mojtaba vowed to avenge the deaths since the start of the conflict, saying it would remain among his top priorities.
“A limited amount of this revenge has so far taken concrete form, but until it is fully achieved, this case will remain among our priorities,” Khamenei stated in a comment read on province television.
“We will seek compensation from the enemy, and if they refuse, we will take as much of their property as we determine, and if that is not possible, we will destroy the same amount of his property,” he further stated.
