IRAN DECLARES VICTORY OVER US, WORLD SEEMS TO BACK ITS CLAIM
Iran's president says the world has accepted that his country has won a war with the United States, amid tensions over the region. France and Saudi Arabia are expected to discuss plans to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's main oil export route.
Iran's President Hassan Rouhani said the world has acknowledged Iran's victory in its war with the US, although no specific details were provided on what this 'victory' entails or how it was achieved. The comment came as tensions between Iran and its regional rivals remain high. Meanwhile, France and Saudi Arabia are reportedly planning to discuss plans to circumvent the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway that connects the Persian Gulf with the open ocean. This move is seen as an attempt to reduce dependence on Iranian-controlled shipping lanes.
