Dubai, Mar 12 (AP) Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei says that the leverage of closing the Strait of Hormuz should be used and that Iran’s attacks on Gulf Arab neighbours will continue.
His first statement since his appointment was read on state television Thursday by a news anchor.
Khamenei did not appear on camera, and an Israeli assessment indicates he was wounded in the war’s opening salvo.
