The new supreme leader of Iran urges revenge for the blood of the 'martyrs' and to maintain the closure of the Strait of Hormuz as a weapon 'against enemies'
Mojtaba Jamenei, Iran's new supreme leader, calls for vengeance for fallen Iranians while asserting that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz will serve as a strategic weapon against enemies like the US and Israel.
Mojtaba Jamenei has taken a strong stance as Iran's new supreme leader amid ongoing war tensions with the United States and Israel. He issued his first statement where he emphasized that Iran would never back down from its commitments and would seek revenge for the deaths of its martyrs, highlighting both the losses from ongoing conflicts and invoking his father's legacy. His declarations have notably centered around the tragic toll of over 1,300 Iranian deaths attributed to outside attacks, branding them martyrs in a religious context.
