Mojtaba Is ‘90% Gone’: Trump's Big Claim as US Intensifies Iran Strikes Amid Failed Peace Hopes
- On Monday, President Donald Trump claimed Iran's military infrastructure is destroyed, asserting that Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, is "90% gone."
- Coinciding with these claims, the US announced plans to re-establish a maritime blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, proposing a 20 per cent reimbursement tariff on cargo vessels moving through the route.
- Recent military operations targeted Iranian coastal defense systems in Bandar Abbas and Jask, resulting in one Indian mariner killed and eight others injured, including six Indians and two Ukrainians.
- Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi rejected the proposal, asserting Tehran holds the legal mandate to secure the waterway and stating, "Iran has always been the GUARDIAN of the Strait and will remain so FOREVER."
- The conflict has expanded following the collapse of a months-long ceasefire, drawing the United Arab Emirates into the fighting; the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps separately claimed it downed an American MQ-1 drone over the waterway.
