Kommentar: Ledarens död eskalerar konflikten rejält

NEW YORK. Att Irans högsta ledare ayatolla Ali Khameni har dödats i de israelisk-amerikanska angreppen innebär en rejäl eskalering av konflikten. Risken tilltar också för att makten i Teheran återtas av andra extremister, som det islamiska revolutionsgardet IRGC.

WHAT THIS MEANS

The assassination of Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Israeli-American attacks significantly escalates Middle East tensions, increasing geopolitical risk. This is likely to spike oil prices due to supply concerns and drive safe-haven flows into assets like gold and the US dollar, while pressuring global equity markets.
