Iran's supreme leader says the US and Israel 'must be brought to their knees and accept defeat' before any peace deal can be agreed, Tehran claims - with new Ayatollah still yet to be seen

According to a senior Iranian official, Khamenei rejected proposals for reducing tensions or for a ceasefire with Washington, that were conveyed to Tehran by two intermediary countries.

The new ayatollah's appetite for revenge against the US and Israel was 'very tough and serious' in his first foreign policy session, an official told Reuters, without clarifying whether the leader attended the session in person.

The senior official, who asked not to be named, said the supreme leader had said it was not 'the right time for peace until the United States and Israel are brought to their knees, accept defeat, and pay compensation'.

Sounds like the new Supreme Leader has been brought to his knees...literally.

Completely detached from reality. We’re not the ones on our knees. We’re not the ones who have had our navy wiped out and all our military bases blown up. Inbreeding plus a demonic cult of worship has totally warped their minds.

“Mohammed, you are now Ayatollah”
“No I am not, you are Ayatollah”
“No way. Let’s do this the right way. Who is not here?”
“Mohammad Al Assan”
“He is Ayatollah. Don’t tell him. The Israelis will make sure he knows”
“Dibs on his wife”
“DAM!”

Seems rather unlikely but he probably has to make such statements publicly

Interesting that the guy to his right seems to have a large mouth, and the one on the left has full lips...

A perfect example of a delusional leader making delusional decisions.

I’m going against the grain here - but I will say - it is in the Trump’s and the USA interest (or rather, we certainly don’t mind) if the Gulf REMAINS CLOSED indefinitely.

Trump is implementing a masterplan.

The US does not use, or need, oil from the Persian Gulf. The USA is an energy exporter now, not importer. Higher prices aren’t good, but it affects us far less than it affects others

Trump has already re-aligned Venezuela, and now Cuba.

So Trump now has his foot on the main energy pipeline feeding China and the EU. The two main pillars of neo-marxist globalism.

Trump has then offered them a PR lifeline, knowing they probably would refuse: “why don’t you help us patrol the Straights of Hormuz? It’s your oil, after all. No? You won’t help? OK - then live with the results.”

It will further shake out the agents of Davos and London here within the US deep-state

Who also benefits? Russia - with whom Trump seeks a major realignment also.

So leave the Gulf closed and see who fractures first.

Yeah, the Saudis are already shifting to shipping off the other side of their peninsula and we’re going to start drilling off California. Venezuelan oil, under our control, is off the black market.
