A “new chapter” has emerged in the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s supreme leader has said in a statement, Al Jazeera reports.
“... New chapter is emerging in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz,” Mojtaba Khamenei said in a statement circulated by state media.
Iran’s supreme leader said that “it has been proven … that the presence of American foreigners and their nesting in the lands of the Persian Gulf is the most important factor in insecurity in the region”.
“America’s puppet bases do not even have the strength and capacity to ensure their own security, let alone that there is any hope that America will provide security to its dependents and American-loving people in the region,” he said.
The message was posted by Iran’s government news service IRNA in commemoration of National Persian Gulf Day, which celebrates the expulsion of Portuguese forces from the Strait of Hormuz in 1622.
