Iran Leader's Invisibility Fuels War Uncertainty, Economic Strain

Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, remains invisible six months after taking power amid an "existential war" that has destabilized the Middle East and severely impacted Iran's economy. His prolonged absence fuels growing skepticism about the country's leadership and decision-making, with officials citing security concerns and disfiguring wounds. This leadership vacuum, coupled with a costly conflict and an oil export blockade, has cratered the rial and risks further unrest. The ongoing geopolitical uncertainty and potential for escalating conflict could boost safe-haven demand for gold and drive crude oil prices higher.
