A statement issued by Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei warned that Tehran’s navy is ready to defeat the US military as the two rivals face off over the Strait of Hormuz.
In a statement released on his Telegram channel, Khamenei, who has not appeared in public since the war began, says Iran’s “brave navy stands ready to make the enemies taste the bitter taste of new defeat.”
‘America cannot impose its will’
On the other hand, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister has said that the US cannot “impose its will” and close the strategic Strait of Hormuz. This statement has come when Iran’s army has announced the closure of this waterway again.
“The Americans cannot impose a siege on Iran by imposing their will, while Iran is trying with good intentions to provide safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz,” Saeed Khatibzadeh, speaking to reporters during an annual Turkish diplomatic forum held in the southern province of Antalya, said.
Answer to America’s unreliability
The head of Iran’s National Security Commission said today that closing the Strait of Hormuz was a response to “America’s unreliability.” Ibrahim Azizi said, “America’s dark history since the beginning of the revolution proves that unreliability is an integral part of Washington’s political doctrine,” adding that the closure of the filibuster was in response to “the enemy’s new deceptions.”
