Iran’s leadership, retaliation, travel and oil disruption and Trump’s plan

From Reuters.

Israel has launched a new wave of strikes on Tehran after killing Iran’s supreme leader and leaving the Islamic Republic grappling to rebuild its leadership. The U.S. and Israeli strikes, and Iranian retaliation, have sent shockwaves through sectors from shipping to air travel to oil. Inside Iran, some grieved for Khamenei while others have celebrated his death. Protests against the military action have also erupted across Pakistan and Iraq.
