Iran’s New Supreme Leader — And a Nation That Won’t Back Down
Hundreds of thousands of Iranians rallied in Tehran in a show of defiance, expressing solidarity with Mojtaba Khamenei, who succeeded his father Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as Supreme Leader following the latter’s killing.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Iran would continue fighting for as long as necessary, directly contradicting Trump’s claim that the war would end “pretty quickly.”
The message from Tehran is unmistakable — the change of leadership has not broken Iranian resolve.
Trump’s War Goals — “Haven’t Won Enough Yet”
Trump told Republican lawmakers the US has struck more than 5,000 targets, claiming Iran’s navy, air force, and 80–90% of its missile launchers have been destroyed. Yet he also said the US “hasn’t won enough” and is pushing for “ultimate victory.”
He confirmed a seventh US combat death and said the fallen troops’ families urged him to “finish the job.”
Gulf Nations Under Fire — Drones Everywhere
Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain all reported intercepting Iranian missiles and drones on Tuesday. In Bahrain, a 29-year-old woman was killed and eight injured when a residential building was struck in Manama, with all Gulf Air flights suspended due to airspace closure.
The Energy Crisis Nobody Can Ignore
The bombardment of Iranian oil facilities drove crude oil prices to nearly $120 per barrel before dipping to around $90 after Trump threatened to intensify attacks if Iran blocked the Strait of Hormuz. G7 finance ministers announced readiness to release energy stockpiles to stabilise global markets, and France’s Emmanuel Macron said allies were preparing a mission to reopen the Strait.
The Strait of Hormuz — the narrow waterway through which roughly 20% of the world’s oil flows — sits at the very heart of this conflict’s global consequences.
