Iran’s supreme leader says ‘new chapter’ emerges in Strait of Hormuz

A “new chapter” has emerged in the Strait of Hormuz amid the US’s “shameful failure”, Iran’s supreme leader has said in a statement, according to Al Jazeera.

“Today, two months after the world’s biggest campaign and aggression in the region and America’s shameful failure in its own plan, a new chapter is emerging in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz,” Mojtaba Khamenei said in a statement circulated by state media.

The message was posted by Iran’s government news service IRNA in commemoration of National Persian Gulf Day, which celebrates the expulsion of Portuguese forces from the Strait of Hormuz in 1622.
