A senior adviser to Iran's supreme leader has said the Strait of Hormuz should remain closed until Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu are removed from power, sharply escalating Tehran's public demands as Washington talks up hopes of ending the nearly seven-month war.
Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, political adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, made the statement marking 200 days of what he described as Iranian resistance against its enemies.
