Iran's supreme leader calls for an end to the war and stronger regional security Ayatollah Mujtaba Khamenei called for securing Tehran's terms to end the war with the US and Israel, and warned against allowing the country to remain trapped in a state of "neither war nor peace". In a meeting with the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Razai, Khamenei insisted that any arrangement must protect the interests of Iran and the resistance front. The talks also referred to Iran's control of the Strait of Hormuz, regional security and closer cooperation with neighboring countries. Khamenei credited the Iranian resistance with squeezing its rivals and called for stronger national unity, while Razai outlined plans for regional security arrangements built around the region's countries. substack | talk.
