War on Iran: Iran's supreme leader says he sees new chapter for Strait of Hormuz
Iran's new supreme leader has hailed what he calls a “new chapter” in management in the Strait of Hormuz. Mojtaba Khamenei says the war has reshaped the Gulf. In a statement posted by Iran’s government news service, marking Persian Gulf Day, he says Washington has suffered defeat, adding that Tehran will protect its nuclear and missile capabilities. That message is in clear defiance of plans by the US president to continue blocking Iranian ports for months, if necessary. Kate Fisher reports from Washington DC.
