Iran’s Supreme Leader Says US Will Be Pushed Out of the Middle East

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, says the United States will eventually be forced out of the Middle East after suffering what he described as painful military setbacks. In a statement carried by Iranian state television, he said Iran’s forces and the guardians of the Strait of Hormuz had limited their enemies’ movements beyond the Arabian Sea. He did not directly name the United States. The remarks come amid efforts to revive talks aimed at ending the military escalation. The Strait of Hormuz is a major global energy route that carried about one-fifth of the world’s oil and gas supplies before the conflict intensified.
