He called the Islamic Revolution a turning point in resistance to the evil plans of global oppressors.
“This strategic asset has long fueled the greed of many evildoers over the centuries. The record of repeated invasions by European and American foreigners—the insecurity, destruction and threats they have posed to the countries of the region—is only a small part of the evil plans of global oppressors against the people of the Persian Gulf,” the message said, as reported by the Mehr news agency.
Khamenei stressed that the new management system in the Strait of Hormuz will enhance development and provide great economic benefits to the nations of the region.
