Iran Names New Supreme Leader Amid Escalating Regional War

Iranian state TV broadcast a statement from new Supreme Leader Mustafa Ham declaring war on the global oil supply and vowing to maintain the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. This follows his father's assassination and comes as tit-for-tat strikes intensify between Iran, the US, and Israel, with Iran targeting Israeli air bases, Shinbet headquarters, and oil facilities across the Middle East. Attacks have hit oil tankers in Iraq and Oman, causing massive fires and one death, while drones struck residential areas in Dubai and airports in Bahrain and Kuwait. Casualties are mounting, with over 1,300 dead in Iran and 400 in Lebanon.[1][2][3]
