Iran Official: 'We Are in an Existential War with America'

🎙️ TEHRAN — After three tanker strikes, Iran just named the war publicly. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: "Existential" on record to Al Jazeera isn't rhetoric — it's a legal and strategic signal.

It raises the domestic cost of any capitulation and signals to China and Russia that Iran won't fold quietly. Watch whether IRGC hardliners now cite this to block any Oman channel revival.
