🚨🇮🇷 4 days after his appointment, the world finally got Iran's new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei's first message. But he didn't appear on video or release audio. Just a lengthy written statement that was read out on state TV. The message: he saw his father's dead body with "his fist clenched in what he said was a final sign of resistance." Demanded reparations from the U.S. Told Gulf states to shut down American bases, or they remain targets. Doubled down on keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed. Praised the resistance front. This wasn't the message of a regime on the brink of collapse. This was defiance. The real question: we still haven't seen or heard from the new leader, who was reportedly wounded in the opening days of the war. While the statement satisfies his base, who's actually calling the shots? What's clear is Iran's showing no signs of backing down.

Why don’t you go ahead and tell people what happened to the parties after that, Ted
