Iran’s Supreme Leader Tells Middle Eastern States to Stop Shielding US Forces

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei has warned regional governments against hosting US military bases. He said no country in the Middle East should act as a protective buffer for American troops. The statement was delivered in a written message circulated by Iranian state media amid rising tensions between Tehran and Washington. Recent military exchanges and stalled diplomatic talks have heightened concerns across the region. Khamenei insisted that the balance of power is shifting away from US influence. “The hands of time will not turn backwards, and the lands of the region will no longer serve as shields for American bases,” he said, adding that the United States will lose any safe haven for aggression in the Middle East with each passing day.
