Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has issued a warning that the country's navy is prepared to confront and defeat United States forces amid rising tensions over the Strait of Hormuz.
In a statement shared on his Telegram channel, Khamenei declared that Iran's 'brave navy stands ready to make the enemies taste the bitterness of new defeats.' He has not been seen in public since before the start of the war, but his message signals continued defiance as tensions escalate between Tehran and Washington.
