Mojtaba Khamenei has been appointed as Iran's new supreme leader, leading to a surge in oil prices exceeding $100 per barrel amid escalating Middle East tensions.
The appointment of Mojtaba Khamenei as Iran's supreme leader has led to widespread military support and a significant rise in oil prices due to fears of prolonged disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.

Oil prices have surged above $100 per barrel following Iran's appointment of Mojtaba Khamenei as supreme leader amid escalating regional conflicts.
Iran has selected a new supreme leader, while Israel has expanded its attacks to Iran’s energy infrastructure, setting fuel depots ablaze in Tehran.
Mojtaba Khamenei, son of Iran's late supreme leader, has been named his successor, Iranian state TV announced, as the war that began with his father's killing took a dramatic turn.
