TEHRAN, Iran (KVOA) – Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has made his first public statement after taking over the role from his slain father.<\/p>\n
In a message broadcasted on state television, Khamenei said, “the crucial Strait of Hormuz should remain closed and that Iran will continue attacks on its Gulf neighbors.”<\/p>\n
The price of oil has surged above $100 a barrel again. This comes as the U.S. and Israel show no sign of stopping their war, while Iran increases its attacks on global shipping and energy infrastructure across the Gulf.<\/p>\n
