In a recent statement broadcast on state television, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei declared a shift in the management of the strategic Strait of Hormuz. He emphasized that while Iran is not seeking war, it will not compromise on its rights. This announcement follows a fragile two-week ceasefire agreement with the United States, which aims to facilitate peace negotiations after escalating threats from US President Donald Trump. Khamenei urged Iranians to remain vocal in public demonstrations, asserting that their voices significantly influence the negotiation outcomes. The situation remains tense, particularly in Lebanon, where Israeli strikes have resulted in over 300 deaths, marking the deadliest day since the conflict began. Khamenei warned of strong responses if attacks on Hezbollah, Iran's ally, continue, as discussions between Israel and Lebanon are expected to take place next week in Washington. Despite speculation about Khamenei's health, Iranian state media reports that he is recovering from injuries sustained in a recent strike.
