In sharp contradiction to the new Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei's statement on Thursday, the Iranian ambassador to the UN told Euronews that Iran does not plan to block or mine the Strait of Hormuz.
Britain's Defence Secretary has called for peace as the Strait of Hormuz remained blocked and more ships were attacked. John Healey said Putin was the only winner.
Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has said all U.S. military bases in the Middle East should close immediately as those bases will be attacked.
