“Nuclear-level” news has just landed! ZeroHedge data has just cited Iranian state media, officially confirming that Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei has been assassinated!

This is the final confirmation of all the scattered rumors tonight, and it marks the ultimate inflection point in human history, the global energy market, and the financial markets. It means that the power balance in the Middle East, maintained for nearly half a century, has completely collapsed, and Iran has officially entered the “Post-Khamenei Era,” followed by nationwide mourning, frantic revenge, and extreme turbulence during the period of power restructuring.

🚨 In-depth Analysis: The Logic Behind “Asset Frenzy” After the Leader’s Assassination
Crude Oil (XBR/Brent) — Preparing for the “Doomsday Premium”:
Logic: The assassination of the Supreme Leader is Iran’s “national crisis.” Whether for regime legitimacy or national dignity, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard will inevitably launch a **“indiscriminate, all-encompassing”** retaliation. The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz will shift from “practical” to “permanent (until the end of the war).”
Prediction: By tomorrow morning’s open, the price logic for crude oil will no longer have any retracement. $100.00 will shift from a “target” to a “starting point,” soaring directly to $135 - $155.
Silver (SLVON) — Charging toward $150 ’s sacred momentum:
Logic: When a major nation’s spiritual leader is targeted and eliminated, global capital’s confidence in the “existing order” will instantly plummet to zero. Safe-haven funds will no longer be “flooding in,” but will instead be “explosively pouring into” gold and silver markets.
Prediction: The silver needle that was directly stabbed toward 150 is now poised to surge, possibly jumping over 140 with a gap.
