- Khamenei warned that U.S. military bases in the Middle East are no longer safe.
- Khamenei delivered the warning in a message marking the start of the Hajj pilgrimage.
- U.S. strikes on Iran, carried out in retaliation for a downed helicopter, preceded the warning.
- Trump administration peace‑deal negotiations with Iran were described as on shaky ground when the warning was issued.
Why it matters: The warning signals heightened risk for U.S. military bases, prompting a reassessment of deployments and security measures, while Iran gains diplomatic leverage as fragile peace‑deal talks falter, shifting the strategic balance in favor of Tehran and affecting U.S. regional influence.
