In a message published by Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei on the occasion of the Hajj season, he threatened that "time will not turn back, and the countries and lands of the region will no longer be safe havens for American bases. From now on, the slogans 'Death to America' and 'Death to Israel' will be the dominant slogans of the Islamic nation and the oppressed people of the world. The United States will have no safe haven to spread evil and establish its military bases in the region."
