Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, declared a "final victory" for Iran in its war with the US and Israel, despite an ongoing fragile ceasefire threatened by Israeli offensives in Lebanon. In his first statement since the war began 40 days prior, Khamenei stated that Iran had "astonished the world" and would seek compensation for damages and casualties. The conflict, which began on February 28 and included a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, prompted a US-Iran ceasefire agreement mediated by Pakistan. As part of the ceasefire, Iran agreed to allow shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, potentially imposing a toll to fund reconstruction. Khamenei indicated Iran would move towards a "new phase" regarding the Strait of Hormuz without providing specifics.
