US denies attacking Iran oil facilities, blames Israel
US Energy Secretary Chris Wright stated Iran's oil facilities were attacked by Israel, not the US, with petroleum supply issues expected to last only weeks. Wright told CNN the US would not target Iran's energy infrastructure. The tensions stem from Mojtaba Khamenei's succession as Iran's top leader, following a decisive vote by the Assembly of Experts. This marks the first hereditary transition since 1979, potentially escalating regional conflict. Iran exports 4% of global oil to China, raising concerns about oil price impacts.
