Iran: Attacks to go on

The Herald

March 13, 2026

IRAN'S Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei said on Thursday that the leverage of closing the Strait of Hormuz should be used and that Iran's attacks on Gulf Arab neighbours will continue.

His first statement since his appointment was read on state television by a news anchor. Mr Khamenei did not appear on camera, and an Israeli assessment indicates he was wounded in the war's opening salvo.

Iran's unrelenting attacks on shipping traffic and energy infrastructure in the Persian Gulf pushed oil back above 100 US dollars (£74.77) a barrel on Thursday, as American and Israeli strikes pounded the Islamic Republic with no sign of an end to the war in sight.

Iran is trying to inflict enough global economic pain to pressure the United States and Israel to halt their bombardment, which started the war on February 28.
