Iran's New Supreme Leader Takes Hardline Stance, Oil Price Continues to Rise, US Stock Market's Big Three Indexes Experience General Decline
BlockBeats News, March 12, Iran's newly appointed Supreme Leader Mujtaba Khamenei made his first statement since taking office, stating: "The Hormuz Strait must remain closed. All US military bases in the region should be immediately shut down, as these bases will come under attack. Research has been conducted on other fronts in areas where the enemy has little experience and is highly vulnerable; if the state of war continues and deems it appropriate, these fronts may be activated."
Analyst Dara Doyle stated that the market interpreted the remarks of the new Supreme Leader Mujtaba Khamenei as quite hardline, with little sign that Iran is prepared to compromise with the United States and Israel.
