Iran war live: Huge crowds mourn Khamenei, Trump vows calm during funeral
Context
Iran's late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and members of his family were killed in a US-Israeli air strike in February.
What it means
The death of Iran's Supreme Leader and a US signal of restraint introduce genuinely new dynamics not captured in prior signals: a partial de-escalation narrative that has historically been associated with an unwind of the war-risk premium in crude oil and safe-haven assets like gold, while the deep uncertainty of an Iranian regime transition tends to sustain or lift defense stocks over the medium term.
