Iranian navy to bring 'new defeats' for US and Israel, supreme leader says
Iran's supreme leader vowed that his navy would bring "new defeats" to the U.S. and Israel, threats made in a statement released on Saturday as Tehran said it would reassert control over the Strait of Hormuz.
Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, who has not made a public appearance since the beginning of the war, said in a statement that the country's "brave navy is ready to make the enemies taste the bitterness of new defeats."
A portion of the purported Khamenei statement was read by a presenter on Iranian state TV on Saturday.
