TEHRAN, March 12 (Xinhua) — Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei on Thursday called for the continued blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and vowed to open new fronts in his country's military conflict with the United States and Israel.

He made the announcement in his first message published on his website since his appointment as Iran's supreme leader was announced on March 8.

"The broad masses demand continued effective and bitterly regrettable defense. Furthermore, the Strait of Hormuz blockade must certainly be further utilized," Khamenei declared, addressing the people and the country's armed forces.

"The possibility of opening other combat fronts where the enemy is inexperienced and extremely vulnerable is being explored. These openings will occur if the state of war continues, and will be based on consideration of interests," Iran's Supreme Leader added.
