Iran's new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has vowed to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed and intensify attacks on US bases and ships, despite intelligence suggesting the government remains intact and that he is in intensive care.Following these threats and attacks that pushed oil prices above $100 a barrel, a 32-nation coalition, including the US and EU, released 400 million barrels of oil reserves to stabilize markets.Meanwhile, Iran launched missiles and drones at at least 17 US diplomatic and military sites across the Middle East, causing damage and killing seven service members, underscoring the broad scope of Tehran's retaliatory campaign.The conflict, initiated by
Donald Trump, has caused global energy market instability, displaced millions, and prompted
UN condemnation, which
Iran has ignored.
