Iranian Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, has sent a chilling warning to American ships in a series of social media posts. Khamanei, not seen since Israeli strikes reportedly left the new leader disfigured, threatened that American ships belong “in the depths” of water. The ayatollah’s messages were read out on Iranian State Television, the only form of communication the new leader has had since taking power.
Throughout Mojtaba’s posts, the Supreme Leader spoke of a “new chapter” for the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz. The new leader repeatedly railed against America’s presence in the Strait, claiming the nation is causing “insecurity in the region” before threatening the US.
