Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and his aide Hossein Shariatmadari have warned of a retaliatory missile strike on the U.S. naval fleet in Bahrain and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to American, British, German, and French vessels. They claim any U.S. military intervention—especially following recent strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities—will provoke “irreparable damage” to America . Shariatmadari emphasized this is “now our turn to act,” while Khamenei vowed the consequences for the U.S. would be far worse than any harm to Iran. (PC: Scanpix)
