West Asia War LIVE Updates: Iran`s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei said Thursday that the leverage of closing the Strait of Hormuz should be used and that Iran`s attacks on Gulf Arab neighbours will continue. His first statement since his appointment was read on state television by a news anchor. Khamenei did not appear on camera, and an Israeli assessment indicates he was wounded in the war`s opening salvo. He vowed to avenge those killed in the war, including in a strike on a school. He said Iran would "obtain compensation" from its enemy, referring to the United States. If it refuses, Iran will "take from its assets" or destroy them to the same extent, he said.

West Asia War LIVE Updates: A finance ministry report on Friday cautioned that prolonged crisis in the Middle East can have adverse implications on the exchange rate and and may stoke inflationary pressures on account of rising prices of petroleum goods and fertilisers. Besides, subdued capital flows, accentuated by a flight to safety, could put pressure on the currency, the Monthly Economic Review for February released by the finance ministry said. The US-Israel strikes on Iran on February 28, killing Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and sparking retaliatory threats, has disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz -- the world`s most critical oil chokepoint handling 20 per cent of global oil flows -- and damage to key energy infrastructure assets in the Middle East, mark a pivotal escalation echoing the 1991 Gulf War oil shocks, potentially reshaping global energy geopolitics for decades.
