Iran supreme leader calls to shut down US bases

Meanwhile, Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, issued his first message calling on regional countries to shut down any US base, adding that they would be attacked.

“I recommend that they close those bases as soon as possible, because they must have realised by now that the claim of establishing security and peace by America was nothing more than a lie,” Khamenei said in a statement read by a news anchor on state TV.

Earlier in the day, Iran announced three conditions to end the war with Israel and the US. Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said that the only way to end the war that has been “ignited by the Zionist regime & US” is by recognising Iran’s legitimate rights, secondly by payment of reparations, and third, by firm international guarantees against future aggression.

The US and Israel have been attacking Iran with airstrikes since Feb. 28, triggering a response from Tehran that’s seen missiles and drones fired across the Gulf.
