Iran's Supreme Leader Vows to Fight On
Mojtaba Khamenei demands compensation and threatens asset seizures, vows to continue attacks and leverage the Strait of Hormuz amid rising regional tensions.
- Following the February 28 death of former Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in a targeted airstrike, his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, has assumed the role of Supreme Leader of Iran.
