Iran's new ayatollah vows to keep Strait of Hormuz blocked in regime-released statement

Welcome to our live coverage of day 13 of the Iran war, as Tehran continues to fire strikes at Israel and countries of the region and targets commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, threatening oil logistics and the global economy.

Israel says it has detected multiple incoming Iranian missiles in the early hours of Thursday, adding that its army was working to intercept the barrage. The IDF also said the Tehran-backed Hezbollah group in Lebanon fired rockets across the border on Thursday.

Meanwhile, the price of Brent crude spiked back to above $100 (€86.6) a barrel on Thursday, just days after it soared to $120 (€104), spiralling global markets and heightening concerns over energy stability, as war grips one of the largest oil and gas producing and exporting regions in the world.
