Iran’s newly appointed Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has declared that the conflict with the United States and Israel will continue until Iran achieves what he described as victory over its enemies.
The statement came in his first message after assuming leadership during the ongoing regional conflict.
Khamenei took power after the death of his father, Ali Khamenei, who was killed during airstrikes linked to the widening war involving Iran, the United States, and Israel.
Iran’s Assembly of Experts later confirmed Mojtaba Khamenei as the country’s new supreme leader, giving him authority over key political and military decisions.
In his message, the new leader praised Iran’s armed forces and resistance groups in the region. He said the country would continue fighting and would not accept pressure from foreign powers.
The ongoing war has already raised concerns about regional stability and global energy markets. Tensions around the strategic Strait of Hormuz have also increased, as disruptions in the area could affect a large portion of the world’s oil supply.
