Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has warned that the United States and Israel will face a severe defeat. His message, broadcast on Iran’s state television, declared that the Iranian navy is prepared to deliver such a response. The statement comes as tensions rise in the Strait of Hormuz, where reports indicate that at least two commercial vessels have come under fire.

In a separate televised statement, Iranian Parliament Speaker Bagher Ghalibaf also warned that war could resume at any moment. He said Tehran does not trust the United States and cautioned that renewed conflict could erupt suddenly. The warnings from both leaders were aired early Sunday on state television.

The developments highlight escalating regional instability around the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime route, as both military and political leaders in Iran signal readiness for confrontation.
