U.S. and Iran exchange fire again as Trump seeks "good deal or no deal"

Iran Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei said Tuesday that "Death to America" and Israel would become "common slogans" worldwide and that countries in the region would no longer be "shields" for U.S. bases, in a written statement commemorating Hajj carried by state television. "What is certain in this regard is that the hands of time will not turn backwards, and the nations and lands of the region will no longer serve as shields for American bases," said Khamenei, who has not appeared in public since he took office in March, in a message marking the Eid al-Adha holiday. He said the United States was losing influence in the region, "moving further and further away from its former status with each passing day." "In different parts of Iran and the world, and after these blessed days, 'Death to America' and 'Death to Israel' shall become the common slogan of the Islamic Ummah and the oppressed people of the world," he added, "especially the youth." The remarks come as Iran and the United States continued exchanges aimed at reaching a deal to end the war that began on February 28 and spread across the region U.S. intelligence shows that Khamenei is effectively holed up in an undisclosed location with little access to the outside world and is only reached by a labyrinth of couriers, according to U.S. officials with knowledge of the matter. He was injured in initial U.S. and Israeli strikes in the Mideast war, U.S. intelligence has said. CBS/AFP
