On the 1st, the office of Iran’s Supreme Leader excerpted the contents of Supreme Spiritual Leader Mojtaba's first speech on social media, reiterating the continued use of a blockade of the Straits of Hormuz as a countermeasure.
The office of the Supreme Spiritual Leader of Iran also excerpted the speech content, stating that Iran is studying the opening of "other potential fronts," believing that its opponents "lack experience and have obvious weaknesses" in related fields. Should hostilities continue, "these fronts will be launched" after a comprehensive consideration of relevant factors.
Mojtaba Delays Appearance Due to War
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Baghaei said in a media interview that Supreme Spiritual Leader Mojtaba is in good health, but delayed his public appearance due to the war.
Baghaei told Egypt Today: "He (Mojtaba) is in good health. I believe that, under the current wartime circumstances, he may need some time before making a public appearance, which is not surprising. But I assure you, the nation, the state administration, and national defense are all operating efficiently."
