The Iran war is nearing the three-week mark as about 2,200 more U.S. Marines and three more warships are headed toward the region, two U.S. officials say.
A second message attributed to Iran 's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was released on Friday as the country marks Nowruz, Persian New Year.Khamenei addressed the Iran ian people, saying their vigilance and sacrifices delivered a 'crippling blow' to 'the enemy,' which had thought Iran ians 'would overthrow the Islamic system' after a day or two, calling it 'a gross miscalculation.
'He said 'the enemy' had a 'false assumption' that the killing top military figures 'would create fear and despair among the people and enable their domination over Iran and eventual partition.''The enemy, America and Israel, have been repeatedly trying to inflict harm on the Iranian nation, but your resilience and widespread efforts have confused and weakened them,' the statement said.Khamenei replaced his father, Ali Khamenei, as supreme leader after the ayatollah was killed at the start of the war. The younger Khamenei has not been seen publicly during the conflict and his health condition is unclear. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said last week he was 'wounded and likely disfigured.'
