The Strait of Hormuz has “stirred the greed of many devils in past centuries”, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei has said, Al Jazeera reports.

But since the US-Israel war on Iran started in late February, Iranians “have witnessed with their own eyes … the beautiful manifestations of the steadfastness, vigilance, and courageous struggle” of Iranian forces.

The leader claimed that “the bright future of the Persian Gulf region will be a future without America and in the service of the progress, comfort, and prosperity of its peoples”.
