Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, issued a chilling series of threats against both Israel and the United States on Tuesday, declaring that “Israel will not live to see another 15 years” while warning that America will soon have “no safe haven” anywhere in the Middle East.

The fiery statements were aired by Iranian state television and published in an official Telegram message tied to the 2026 Hajj pilgrimage.

“Death to Israel” and “Death to America” remain the Islamic Republic’s guiding slogans, Khamenei declared, reaffirming Tehran’s longstanding hostility toward the Jewish state and the United States.

The remarks echoed a notorious prediction made years earlier by his father, former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who once claimed Israel would not survive another 25 years.

In Tuesday’s message, Mojtaba Khamenei also warned that the United States is rapidly losing its grip on the Middle East.

“What is certain in this regard is that the hands of time will not turn back, and the nations and lands of the region will no longer serve as shields for U.S. bases,” he wrote.

“The United States not only will no longer have a safe haven for its mischief and for establishing military bases in the region but day by day, it is growing more distant from its former status,” he added.

The threats come at a highly sensitive moment as Washington and Tehran continue negotiations aimed at ending the recent war and establishing a broader agreement.

Mojtaba Khamenei has not appeared publicly since assuming power following the death of his father in a massive airstrike on Tehran during the opening stages of the recent joint U.S.-Israeli military campaign.
