Live updates: Iran's new supreme leader vows to keep blocking Strait of Hormuz as oil prices spike again
Mojtaba Khamenei defied calls by Trump and global markets to reopen the vital oil trade route in his first public statement to the nation.
Once again it's hard to know where all this is going and I think my statement about Trump taking a basball bat to a bee hive makes the most sense to me. Though what he has done won't likely kill you and me in a way he is harming everyone on earth by what he is doing now regarding oil and food production and prices and many will starve and some will die from this worldwide. Trump right now is a population reduction machine for Earth in action through Starvation and food and oil costing too much to buy.

What we know
- SUPREME LEADER SPEAKS: Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has broken his silence days after he succeeded his slain father. In a message a news anchor read on state television, Khamenei said that the crucial Strait of Hormuz should remain closed and that Iran will continue attacks on its Persian Gulf neighbors.
- OIL SPIKES AGAIN: The price of oil surged above $100 a barrel again before dipping as the U.S. and Israel showed no sign of halting their war and Iran escalated its attacks on global shipping and energy infrastructure across the Gulf.
- MORE TANKERS ABLAZE: Three more oil tankers were attacked overnight as Iran effectively halted supplies through the region. The war has created the “largest supply disruption” in history, the International Energy Agency said, even though dozens of countries agreed to release 400 million barrels from their reserves.
