Iran’s Khamenei Says U.S. Military Bases No Longer Safe

Bloomberg: “Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei said US military bases in the Middle East will no longer be safe after the war, declaring victory and a new regional order even as talks to end the conflict continued.”

Said Khamenei, in a written statement: “The clock cannot be turned back; the nations and lands of the region will no longer be a shield for American bases.”

“The comments indicate Iran’s view that the conflict has fundamentally changed the balance of power in the oil-rich Persian Gulf, weakening the US and establishing deterrence that will compel Gulf Arab countries to coexist with the Islamic Republic.”
