"Ninety million proud and honorable Iranians inside and outside the country regard all of Iran's identity-based, spiritual, human, scientific, industrial and technological capacities - from nanotechnology and biotechnology to nuclear and missile capabilities as national assets, and will protect them just as they protect the country's waters, land and airspace."
"By God's help and power, the bright future of the Persian Gulf region will be a future without America, one serving the progress, comfort and prosperity of its people."
"Today, two months after the largest military deployment and aggression by the world's bullies in the region, and the United States' disgraceful defeat in its plans, a new chapter is unfolding for the Persian Gulf and the strait of Hormuz."
Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, emphasized the importance of the country's nuclear and missile capabilities as national assets. He stated that all Iranians view these capabilities, along with other technological advancements, as integral to their identity. Khamenei declared that the future of the Persian Gulf will be free of American influence, asserting that foreign powers have no rightful place in the region. He also claimed that the United States has been defeated in its efforts against Iran, marking a new chapter for the region.
