On Monday, the U.S.–Israel war with Iran pushed oil prices to their highest level since July 2022. Since the war began in late February, the national average price of gas has steadily increased. It’s now $3.48 for a gallon of regular, up 48 cents since last week and 58 cents from a month ago, according to AAA data. However, there are no signs of worry from the White House. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said on CNN Sunday that “in the worst case, this is a week’s, this is not a month’s thing.” That echoed President Donald Trump’s comments to Reuters that prices will “drop very rapidly when this is over, and if they rise, they rise.” In a Truth Social post on Sunday, the president voiced his disdain for the “fools” concerned with rising gas prices, arguing the “short-term oil prices” are a “very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety and Peace.” Trump again said he expects prices to “drop rapidly” when the war ends. Red states in particular are feeling the pain of rising gas prices, with some seeing price spikes of more than 30 cents in the last week, while 17 other states have “seen increases of more than 25 cents on average,” according to the Daily Beast.  While the U.S. is a leading oil producer and relatively insulated by physical distance, our connection to the global market means we can’t decouple domestic prices from disruptions abroad. Typically, a $10 rise in crude oil translates to a roughly $0.25 hike in domestic gas prices, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. The war with Iran has already caused a near-12 percent spike in American diesel futures. Shipping disruptions, such as closing the Strait of Hormuz — or insurers’ decisions to suspend coverage for ships in that region — could lead U.S. refiners to increase their exports, a move that would further raise domestic gas prices. Responding to the signs of consternation, President Trump ordered the United States Development Finance Corporation to provide risk insurance “at a very reasonable price” for “all Maritime Trade, especially Energy, traveling through the Gulf.” The Development Finance Corporation stated it will insure losses “up to approximately $20 billion on a rolling basis” to “vessels that meet the criteria.” However, the criteria and timeline for implementation are currently undetermined.  President Trump also offered the services of the U.S. Navy to escort tankers through the Strait “if necessary.” Wright told Fox News that “one large tanker has already gone through the straits with no issues at all.” The strait previously averaged about 100 tankers and cargo ships a day. Wright also joined Trump in downplaying suggestions that the Trump administration might tap the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve, noting that while the U.S. is “happy to use” it, the pinch is being felt more acutely in Europe and Asia, not domestically. The president also rejected the idea on Sunday, stating, “we’ve got a lot of oil” and that the situation “will get healed very quickly,” according to CNBC. Gas prices are currently highest in California, at an average of $5.20 per gallon. Kansas has the country’s lowest average price for a gallon of regular, at $2.92, according to AAA data.

Iranian officials selected Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to lead the Islamic Republic on Monday. Despite his growing influence over the years, Mojtaba Khamenei has never held formal public office. Like his father, the newly installed leader is a prominent Iranian religious scholar. He has spent years operating behind the scenes within Iran’s ruling establishment, as much of his reputation has been built through his work inside his father’s office and his longstanding ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The IRGC, one of the most dominant institutions in Iranian politics, pressured the Assembly of Experts to approve the younger Khamenei’s elevation to supreme leader, the Jerusalem Post reports. According to Kasra Aarabi of United Against Nuclear Iran, “Think of Mojtaba Khamenei as his father on steroids.” Aarabi explained that Mojtaba functioned as a “mini supreme leader” within the regime.  Once Khamenei was appointed, the Times of Israel reported that the IRGC pledged “complete obedience and self-sacrifice in carrying out the divine commands of the Guardian Jurist of the time, His Eminence Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei.” Iran’s other institutions and political leadership quickly signaled loyalty to the new arrangement as well. The Iranian defense council, for instance, declared in an official statement, “We will obey the commander-in-chief until the last drop of our blood.”    Iran’s Assembly of Experts, the supreme leader’s oversight body, historically insisted that the supreme leader should be chosen for his religious credentials and political authority. Prior to the 1979 revolution, Iran was ruled by a hereditary monarchy in which power passed through royal succession within the ruling dynasties, such as the Pahlavi family. Several surviving Iranian royals live in exile to this day. (RELATED: Why Iranians Have Unified Around Reza Pahlavi) Israeli military officials warned that Iran’s next supreme leader, along with members of the Assembly of Experts responsible for appointing him, could “become fair targets” in military strikes against Iran, according to ABC News. Notably, speculation about Mojtaba Khamenei’s future has circulated for years. In September 2024, The American Spectator reported that Mojtaba suspended his advanced religious lectures, or Kharej Lectures, in Iran. This was an unusual move for an Islamic scholar seeking to maintain religious standing, because, in Iran’s Shiite seminary system, these scholars establish their authority and rank by teaching religious courses. At the time, his unexplained withdrawal from the classroom suggested he may have been shifting his focus away from religious teaching and toward a larger political role within the Iranian regime.

Over the weekend, he told ABC News, “[The next supreme leader is] going to have to get approval from us…If he doesn’t get approval from us, he’s not going to last long.” Trump also called Mojtaba Khamenei a “lightweight” and an “unacceptable” choice. Upon Iran’s selection of Khamenei’s son to succeed him, Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade reported that President Trump is “not happy” with the new Iranian supreme leader. Tehran’s ruling elites ultimately rejected international pressure and opted for the IRGC’s choice: Mojtaba Khamenei. The circumstances of his rise may complicate the prospect of regime change that U.S. and Israeli officials favor for Iran, but, as of now, we don’t know whether Khamenei will survive three hours or three months. As President Trump said of the Iranian regime, “We want to go in and clean out everything … We don’t want someone who would rebuild over a 10-year period.” READ MORE from Dylan Kresak: US Mosques Hold Memorials for Iran’s Supreme Leader SCOTUS Safeguards Parental Rights, Halts California’s ‘Exclusion Policies’ Was Austin Terrorized by an Islamic Radical?
