1. Key Event Summary

1. Iran Leadership Update
Iranian expert meetings have nominated the late Supreme Leader Khamenei's son, Mojtaba Khamenei, as the new Supreme Leader. The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and armed forces' general staff have expressed support.

- This marks a critical power transfer following the joint US-Israel airstrike that targeted the Supreme Leader.

2. Military Action Escalation

- Iran announced that the 30th round of Operation "Real Commitment-4" has begun, utilizing multiple missile types including "Khoramshahr-4" and "Fateh," as well as drones, to strike Iraqi US military bases and northern Israeli targets. They also claimed to have destroyed an important US radar facility.

- Trump stated that he would decide with Israel to end military operations against Iran "at the appropriate time," but also warned that Iran's new leadership "won't last long," and indicated there are no current plans to deploy ground troops.

3. Global Market Response

- International oil prices have surpassed $100 per barrel for the first time since 2022, with WTI crude briefly reaching $115 per barrel and Brent crude surpassing $116 per barrel, mainly due to the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz and forced production cuts by oil-producing countries.

- Global stock market futures declined in response, and US gasoline prices have increased by approximately 16% compared to a week ago. #国际油价突破100美元 $BTC
