Iran's supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, called on Muslim countries to unite against the United States and Israel, in a written message cited by AFP. Khamenei, who succeeded his father who died in February, stated that the solution to the problems of the Muslim Umma lies in unity and cooperation, designating the US and Israel as the "true enemy" of all Muslim countries. In response to the Israeli-American offensive, Iran attacked countries allied with Washington in the region and blocked the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world's oil circulates, generating fears of a global economic crisis. Tehran faces a US naval blockade and hardened sanctions on Monday, with Khamenei also calling for the progressive "de-dollarization" of the Iranian economy.
