Iran will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz until US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are removed from power, a political adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader said Thursday, September 17, as reported by WANA News Agency.

Mohammad-Bagher Zolghadr made the statement in a message marking what he described as 200 consecutive days of public resistance in Iran. He said the country's stance over the strategic waterway was part of its response to those responsible for the conflict.

“Iranian fighters will not open the Strait of Hormuz until the criminal Donald Trump and the butcher Benjamin Netanyahu are removed from power,” Zolghadr said, according to Al Mayadeen, as quoted by The Palestine Chronicle. Read the complete statement here.
