"All American Bases Will Be Destroyed": The New Supreme Leader of Iran Makes His First Statement
The new supreme leader of Iran, Mojtaba Hashemi, made his first national speech, vowing to destroy all U.S. military bases in the Middle East and declaring the start of a "Holy War."
Hashemi called on the Iranian people to uphold national unity and avoid internal conflicts, emphasizing that Iran should set aside controversial issues during this difficult period.
He also announced that the Strait of Hormuz will continue to be blockaded. In addition, the new supreme leader emphasized that Iran will never give up revenge for the "blood of the martyrs" and specifically mentioned the victims of the Minab attack incident.
Hashemi stated that Tehran has always been committed to maintaining friendly relations with neighboring countries, and Iran's military strikes target only U.S. military bases; meanwhile, he clearly stated that Iran's military operations will continue.
At the end of his speech, Hashemi expressed gratitude to the Iranian military personnel who have been involved in combat.
Previously, the Iranian Assembly of Experts had confirmed Mojtaba Hashemi as the new supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, succeeding the position after his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, passed away.
On the morning of February 28, the United States and Israel jointly launched a military operation against Iran, with air strikes affecting several Iranian cities, including Tehran. In response, Iran retaliated by firing missiles and deploying drones to attack targets within Israel and U.S. airbases in the Middle East.
