New Iran supreme leader calls for keeping Hormuz Strait closed

Iran's new supreme leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei said on Thursday that his country's forces must keep the strategic Strait of Hormuz closed.

"The lever of blocking the Strait of Hormuz must definitely be used," Khamenei said of the waterway through which vast amounts of oil and gas are usually shipped, in a statement read on state television.
