Khamenei has not been seen as the attack.<\/p>\n<p>The disclosure came amid ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions and a tentative ceasefire, with the U.S. Central Command reporting operational steps in the Strait of Hormuz, including redirecting commercial vessels and disabling some since April 13 to prevent them from entering or leaving Iranian ports. President Donald Trump reiterated threats of escalation if Iran does not agree to a deal soon, while khamenei has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/china-upset-by-latest-lab-leak-news\/\" title=\"China Upset by Latest Lab Leak News\">previously made statements<\/a> via state media rejecting any surrender of Iran\u2019s nuclear weapons program.
