Iran’s new Supreme Leader defiant
Iran’s new leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, issued his first public statements Thursday, resolving to keep fighting, promising more pain for Gulf Arab states and threatening to open “other fronts” in a war that has already disrupted world energy supplies, the global economy and international travel.
The stance revealed by the Supreme Leader came as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country’s attacks were creating conditions for the Iranian population to topple the government.
“It is in your hands,” Netanyahu said at a news conference, addressing the Iranian people. “We are creating the optimal conditions for the fall of the regime.”
Since the start of the war, US and Israeli strikes have targeted security checkpoints in Iran to undermine the government’s ability to suppress dissent, according to Armed Conflict Location and Event Data, the US-based independent monitoring group known as ACLED.

Oil prices held gains above $100 Friday, and most equity markets dropped after Iran’s new Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei called for the blocking of the crucial Strait of Hormuz and the opening up of new fronts in the war against the United States and Israel.

US President Donald Trump said on Friday he believes Iran’s newly appointed Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is still alive “in some form,” despite not being seen publicly since taking office after the war in Iran began.
Trump’s remarks come after the new Iranian supreme leader’s first public remarks were run by news portals, in which he resolved to keep fighting, promising more pain for Gulf Arab states and threatening to open “other fronts” in a war that has already disrupted world energy supplies, the global economy and international travel.
“I think he probably is. I think he is damaged, but I think he’s probably alive in some form, you know,” Fox News quoted Trump as saying in an interview on “The Brian Kilmeade Show” scheduled to air Friday at 10:06 am ET.
Addressing the difficulties vessels seeking to sail through the key Strait of Hormuz are facing, Trump suggested the ships should show some “guts” and continue their journey.
“They should go through the Strait of Hormuz and show some guts.”

The Trump administration denounced CNN on Thursday for airing a portion of the new Iranian supreme leader’s public statement, the second time in three days that it targeted the network for reporting on how the regime is responding to the American attacks.
The attack illustrated the care news outlets must take when reporting during wartime, and the responsibilities of American journalists to report the perspectives of countries whose governments they view as enemies. It also exposed inconsistencies.
The message of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei during his first public statement since he succeeded his father, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike, was widely available elsewhere.
The White House said on social media that “fake news CNN just aired four straight minutes of uninterrupted Iranian state TV, run by the same psychotic and murderous regime that prided itself on brutally slaughtering Americans for 47 years.”

US-Iran war live updates: How much money has US spent in Iran operation?
US officials told lawmakers that the first six days of the war with Iran cost more than $11.3 billion, a person familiar with the matter said, providing the most detailed assessment yet of the expense of President Donald Trump’s military campaign.
Pentagon officials gave the estimate in a closed-door briefing with Senate appropriations staff this week, according to the person, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations. The actual cost is likely much higher because the number doesn’t include the expense of operating ships and maintaining personnel deployed in the region.
The figure — nearly $1.9 billion a day — is far higher than unofficial numbers floated by outside groups, including the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, which had released a paper last week estimating the first four days of the operation, which began on February 28, had cost $3.7 billion, or $890 million a day.
