Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei stated that regional countries will no longer serve as shields for U.S. bases, asserting that the U.S. is losing its former position in the region. These remarks come amid ongoing exchanges between Iran and the United States aimed at reaching a deal to end a regional war, with a fragile ceasefire in place since April 8.

  • Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, in a written statement, warned that the U.S. has no safe haven for aggression or military bases in the region.
  • The Revolutionary Guards claimed to have downed a U.S. drone and shot at other aircraft entering Iranian airspace, asserting their right to a reciprocal response against any ceasefire violations.
  • Despite a ceasefire, U.S. Central Command reported attacks on missile sites in southern Iran and boats attempting to lay mines.
  • State media reported blasts in the southern port city of Bandar Abbas, though Iran has not officially confirmed the U.S. attack.
  • The conflict began on February 28 and spread across the region, with a ceasefire established on April 8.
