Iran's Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has stated that a new chapter for the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz is taking shape amid the ongoing war with the United States and Israel.
In a message on National Persian Gulf Day, the Supreme Leader added that the Gulf region will have a bright future without the presence of the US, state TV reported.
Khamenei warned that the only place Americans belong in the Persian Gulf is "at the bottom of its waters" and that the US presence in the region is the main source of instability.
The US military continues its blockade of Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz, further worsening the oil and gas trade disruption, causing oil prices to rise.
