Mohammed Mokhber, a senior adviser to Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, says Tehran will continue to fight for the Strait of Hormuz after the US president pledged to take full control of the crucial trade route, Al Jazeera reports.
“We defend it so that in the future, for the passage of our ships, we are not forced to pay tribute to the enemy,” he writes on X. “Retreating from this vital matter has no place in the mind of any friend of Iran.”
