Iran appoints Khamenei’s son as supreme leader
Iran appoints Khamenei’s son as supreme leader
New York, 8 March (Argus) — Iran announced the appointment of Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the country's long-time ruler who was killed in US-Israeli attacks, as its new supreme leader, according to Iranian state news outlet Press TV. Iran's Assembly of Experts selected Mojtaba after a "decisive vote" by its members,according to the report. The appointment comes as US president Donald Trump has threatened further military strikes against Iran in a war that has sent oil futures soaring above $111/bl in early trading on the risk of further supply disruptions from the key oil-producing region. Trump had previously said he expected to have a say in the selection of Iran's next supreme leader. The surprise US-Israeli attacks on Iran on 28 February killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader since 1989, as well as other leaders.

Crude futures surge 20pc, top $111/bl
Crude futures surge 20pc, top $111/bl
Singapore, 8 March (Argus) — Crude futures surged above $111/bl in early trading Monday, after a weekend of continued attacks and growing signs of oil supply disruptions in the Middle East. The front-month May Ice Brent contract surged to $111.04/bl shortly after trading began in Asia, up by 19.8pc or $18.35/bl from the close on 6 March . US benchmark WTI rose even more sharply. The front-month April contract hit a high of $111.24/bl, a gain of 22.4pc or $20.34/bl from Friday's close. Today's new highs mean futures have now risen by over 50pc since 27 February, the day before the US-Iran war started. Kuwait's state-owned oil firm KPC said on 7 March it has started to reduce crude output and refinery runs after oil exports were effectively halted by the war. Kuwait is the second Mideast Gulf country to confirm production shutdowns because of the war. Upstream shutdowns are also expected in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and Iran should the war continue. There was no sign of an end to the conflict in the Middle East, which has now lasted for nine days. Israel struck fuel storage tanks in Iran, causing a huge fire, while Iran continued to fire drones and missiles at Israel and US allies in the region.

Kuwait reports drone strikes at airport fuel tanks
Kuwait reports drone strikes at airport fuel tanks
Dubai, 8 March (Argus) — Two fuel storage tanks at Kuwait International Airport were targeted in a drone attack early on Sunday, causing a fire and damage but no casualties, authorities said. The tanks are operated by Kuwait Aviation Fuelling (Kafco), the airport's sole jet fuel supplier, which sources the fuel through pipelines from state-owned KNPC's 346,000 b/d Mina al-Ahmadi and 454,000 b/d Mina Abdullah refineries. Kafco supplies more than 1bn litres/yr (17,000 b/d) of fuel to commercial airlines, military flights and government agencies operating at the airport. There was unspecified damage to property but no injuries were reported in initial assessments, state-owned news agency Kuna cited authorities as saying. Earlier on Sunday, Kuwait's armed forces said air defences had intercepted three ballistic missiles that entered the country's airspace and responded to a wave of drones, including those that directly struck the airport fuel tanks. The airport strike follows a previous drone-related incident in Kuwait on 28 February, when debris from an intercepted drone landed near Shuaiba port. US and Israeli attacks on Iran starting on 28 February have triggered retaliatory attacks by Tehran on targets across the Mideast Gulf, including key energy facilities. Kuwait's state-owned oil firm KPC said on 7 March that it had begun reducing crude production and refinery operations after oil exports were effectively halted by the war. It issued a force majeure on crude and refined product exports later the same day. The headquarters of the Public Institution for Social Security in Kuwait was targeted in a separate incident early on Sunday, causing material damage to the building, the institution said.
