Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei warns that “enemy forces” will soon lose their position in the Arabian Sea, state and affiliated media report. He says Iranian fighters have already pushed such forces away from waters off southern Iran and that they will be driven out of the wider sea as well.
The reports frame his remarks as part of Iran’s ongoing maritime posture in the region. One outlet ties the comments to Sacred Defence Week, a period commemorating the Iran-Iraq War, and also notes the timing relative to the anniversary of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah’s killing in 2024. Another outlet emphasizes that Khamenei’s message is delivered via social media, while a third highlights the confrontation with the United States.
While all sources describe the same central message—that Iranian forces have pushed rivals toward the Arabian Sea and will clear the sea of their presence—they vary in the emphasis on specific platforms and the role of the United States.
