Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Funeral Updates : Millions mourn Khamenei as Iran tensions simmer ; Trump says no shot during funeral | World News
What it means
The death of Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei has historically been associated with elevated geopolitical risk in the Middle East, which tends to push crude oil and gold higher in the short term as markets price in succession uncertainty and potential policy shifts. Trump's statement signaling restraint during the funeral period may limit immediate escalation, but the medium-term outlook for regional stability remains uncertain until a successor is confirmed.
