Tensions in the Middle East, Mojtaba Khamenei threatens: The only place for Americans in the Persian Gulf is at the end of its waters

Iran's Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has issued a new statement.

Khamenei, who has not been seen or heard from in person since he rose to the highest office, said the only place for Americans in the Persian Gulf "is at the bottom of its waters," according to state television.

He also claimed that Tehran's "new management" of the Strait of Hormuz would "bring tranquility and progress" and economic benefits to all nations.

Khamenei said Iran would eliminate "the enemy's abuses of the waterway," adding that his country shared a common fate with other nations in the region, but "foreigners who commit evil" had no future there.

Separately on social media, he said:

"A new chapter is opening for the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz."

There have been reports that the new leader, who succeeded his father after he was killed in US-Israeli strikes on February 28, has been seriously injured.
