Iran's Supreme Leader'advisor ': Iran should attack US fleet and close Strait of Hormuz

CNN reports that a key adviser to Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is calling for missile strikes on US naval vessels and a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil transport route. "After the US attack on the Fordo nuclear facility, it is now our turn to act," warned Hossein Shariatmadari, editor-in-chief of Iran's newspaper Le Monde. A prominent conservative voice, he has previously described himself as a "representative" of the supreme leader. "As a first step, we must launch missile attacks on the US naval fleet in Bahrain without hesitation and without delay, while closing the Strait of Hormuz to US, British, German and French ships," he said. So far, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has not given an official response to the US attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. (Kim 10)
