Iran announced on Monday that a 88-member assembly of clerics voted to elect Mojtaba Khomeini, the second son of Supreme Leader Khamenei, as his successor. This means that Mojtaba will have the final say in all national affairs in Iran, indicating that the hardliners still firmly control power. Mojtaba's appointment as Iran's Supreme Leader is likely to anger Trump. Trump said on Sunday that the United States should have a voice in the selection of Iran's Supreme Leader, "if he doesn't get our approval, he won't last long." Israel had previously threatened to strike anyone who was elected. Meanwhile, a week-long war in Iran has pushed international oil prices above $100 per barrel.
The US military announced on Sunday that seven American soldiers have died in the war with Iran. Previously, this soldier was seriously injured in an attack on the US military in Saudi Arabia on March 1st. His identity has not been disclosed yet.
