Ayatollah Khamenei described the presence of US and European fleets in the region as detrimental and unpleasant and stressed: "The era in which the arrogant powers used to determine the destiny of other nations through their military presence has come to an end. Even if certain regional governments still have a tendency to follow the orders of the arrogant powers, nations of the region are vigilant and they consider foreigners' military presence in the region as a source of insecurity."
