In a fiery call to arms, a top adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader has demanded missile strikes on U.S. Navy vessels and the immediate closure of the Strait of Hormuz the world’s most critical oil chokepoint following the U.S. assault on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility.
Hossein Shariatmadari, the influential editor-in-chief of the ultra-hardline Kayhan newspaper and a key regime insider, declared via Telegram: After America’s attack on Fordow, the ball is in our court. It’s our turn now. His remarks, cited by CNN, signal mounting pressure on Tehran to escalate militarily and potentially spark a global energy crisis.
In a fierce escalation of rhetoric, a top Iranian regime figure has called for an immediate missile strike on the U.S. Navy fleet stationed in Bahrain and demanded the Strait of Hormuz be closed to all Western ships specifically those from the U.S., U.K., Germany, and France.
He ended his statement with a chilling Quranic verse: Kill them wherever you shall overtake them, signaling a hardline push toward open confrontation.
Shariatmadari, long regarded as the ideological mouthpiece of Iran’s most hardline elite, is a staunch loyalist to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and has openly called himself the Leader’s ‘representative.’
While his statements lack official status, they often serve as a barometer for the regime’s inner thinking.
His latest threats published in Kayhan, a paper widely seen as echoing the views of Iran’s most uncompromising power brokers are expected to reverberate far beyond Tehran, raising alarms in Washington and fueling fears of an impending regional showdown.
Why this matters
The Strait of Hormuz a lifeline for nearly a third of the world’s oil shipments now sits on the brink of crisis. Any attempt by Iran to block this vital chokepoint could ignite a global energy shock, sending oil prices skyrocketing and plunging oil-dependent nations like India into economic turmoil.
As tensions escalate, all eyes are on Tehran but Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has yet to issue a formal response to the U.S. strike on Iran’s Fordow nuclear site or to the incendiary call for retaliation from his close ally, Hossein Shariatmadari. The silence from the top adds a layer of uncertainty to an already volatile moment.
