US broke the MoU through military aggression and economic warfare, leaving Iran no choice but lawful self-defense, so now the Strait of Hormuz is Iran's sovereign lever to dismantle the old US-dominated order and establish a new regional reality where outsiders have no role to play.

Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei's emphasis on retribution for the martyred Leader and thousands of other martyrs signals a carefully calibrated doctrinal shift, intertwining religious obligation, strategic deterrence, and national unity in pursuit of justice against American-Israeli perpetrators through judicial, diplomatic, and public avenues.

Persian Gulf region, long perched on the brink of confrontation, is once again sliding toward dangerous escalation after fresh acts of US military aggression against Iran, which have all but collapsed the fragile MoU and prompted Tehran to launch a decisive response against US military assets across the region.

The historic funeral of Iran's martyred Leader drew more than 43 million mourners across Iran and Iraq, transcending sectarian boundaries and serving as a silent referendum on the political legitimacy of the Islamic Republic and the Axis of Resistance that regenerated transnational symbolic capital while challenging Western narratives of regional fragmentation.

Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei’s martyrdom and burial at the shrine of Imam Reza (AS) in Mashhad, where his life began 86 years ago, marks the completion of a full-circle journey – one that reflects his lifelong devotion to the Ahlulbayt (AS) and the ideals they embodied.

In the wake of continued US military adventurism, Iran's new Strait of Hormuz doctrine abandons tit-for-tat responses, mandating the waterway's complete closure and a two-for-one retaliatory strike in response to any attack – a strategic shift that leaves Washington trapped and cornered.

Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei transformed resistance into an enduring legacy of sovereignty, justice, and dignity, demonstrating that ideas rooted in faith outlive leaders, and that nations sustained by independence and unwavering conviction never truly fall.
