Iran’s new supreme leader reportedly ordered “new measures” during a military meeting as tensions grow in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has reportedly held a high-level military meeting and ordered “new measures” to confront adversaries as tensions escalate in the Strait of Hormuz.According to Iran’s Fars News Agency, Khamenei met with senior military commander Ali Abdollahi to discuss ongoing operations and regional security threats.
The reported meeting comes as Iran continues warning foreign-linked vessels operating near the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical oil shipping routes.
Mojtaba Khamenei has remained out of public view since taking power following the death of his father, Ali Khamenei, during US-Israeli strikes earlier this year.
Reports from US media claim the new Iranian leader suffered severe injuries in the attack, including burns and multiple surgeries, though Iranian authorities have not officially confirmed the details.
Sources cited by international media say Khamenei is still recovering but remains actively involved in military and political decision-making behind the scenes.
