Khamenei Says U.S. Military Bases in Middle East No Longer Safe
(New York Times) - Iran's Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, said Tuesday that the war with the United States had shown that American military bases in the Middle East are no longer safe, after Iran repeatedly targeted those sites in retaliation for U.S.-Israeli strikes. 'The hands of time do not turn backward, and the nations and lands of the region will no longer serve as shields for American bases,' Mr. Khamenei said in a written statement marking the start of the Hajj pilgrimage, the annual Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca.
