WANA (Sep 17) – Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, political adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader, said in a message marking 200 consecutive days of public presence in the streets that Iran would not reopen the Strait of Hormuz until Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu are removed from power.
In his message, Zolghadr described the past 200 days as a period of what he called the Iranian people’s resistance and steadfastness, saying the struggle would continue in defense of the country’s existence, identity, independence and aspirations.
Referring to the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader and the deaths of civilians and military personnel, including children in Minab, teenagers in Lamerd, soldiers in Bampur and members of the Dena warship, he stressed the need to avenge those killed in the attacks.
In the final part of his message, the political adviser to the Supreme Leader said: “Our fighters will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz until criminal Trump and bloodthirsty Netanyahu are removed from power, and this is the first stage of the Iranian people’s revenge.”
