Iran to shift war to offensive phase if conditions not met: Supreme Leader’s adviser

Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei’s definite strategy is to shift the war to an offensive phase if Iran’s conditions are not met, said Mohammad Mokhber, an adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, on Thursday. Mokhber said in a social media post that the current situation has proven the inability of the United States to protect its allies in the Persian Gulf.

He wrote “The most sustainable way for a new order in the region is the implementation of the economic-security mechanism of Hormuz, independent of Washington’s military guarantees”.
