Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei in a message says the country will ensure the security of the Persian Gulf.

“The Islamic Iran, while appreciating the blessing of managing the Strait of Hormuz in practice, will ensure the security of the Persian Gulf,” said Khamenei in a social media post on X.

In another message on X, he says that the “foreigners from thousands of kilometers away, who are greedily carrying out transgressions in the Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman, have no place here except at the bottom of its waters”.
