DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Oil prices surged and stock markets slid Monday after hard-line Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei was chosen to succeed his late father as Iran’s supreme leader. His appointment, and new strikes on regional oil infrastructure, signaled that Iran was digging in 10 days into the war launched by the United States and Israel. The war has choked off major supplies of oil and gas to world markets, led foreigners to flee from business hubs and prompted millions to seek shelter as bombs hit sites including military bases, government buildings, oil and water installations, hotels and at least one school. Khamenei, a secretive 56-year-old cleric, is only the third supreme leader in the history of the Islamic Republic. He has close ties to the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, which has been firing missiles and drones at Israel and Gulf Arab states since his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who had ruled since 1989, was killed during the war’s opening salvo. The appointment suggests Tehran is not close to giving up on what it considers a fight for the Islamic theocracy’s survival. 0:00 / 35 AP AUDIO: Iran names Khamenei’s son to succeed him, signaling no letup in war as oil prices surge AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports Iran has named its new supreme leader, as the war rages on. Two teenagers were charged on Monday with offenses including terrorism and using a weapon of mass destruction after they allegedly threw improvised explosive devices during an anti-Islam demonstration on Saturday outside the residence of New York mayor Zohran Mamdani. According to a 10-page criminal complaint filed in federal court in the US southern district of New York, 18-year-old Emir Balat threw the devices at protesters after they were handed to him by Ibrahim Kayumi, 19. It said both declared allegiance to the Islamic State terror group. The incident took place on Saturday during an anti-Islam protest by rightwing agitators outside Gracie Mansion on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Mamdani, the city’s first Muslim mayor, and his family were not at home. Neither device exploded, and both were made safe by the NYPD bomb squad. The defendants, from Pennsylvania, were expected to be arraigned on Monday afternoon. The document, signed by federal magistrate judge Gary Stein, lists five charges against each: attempted provision of material support and resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization; use of a weapon of mass destruction; transportation of explosive materials; interstate transportation and receipt of explosives; and unlawful possession of destructive devices. a man runs toward a barricade as an improvised explosive device emits smoke on the ground as police move toward it View image in fullscreen Emir Balat, one of the charged teenagers.

It gave no details of Kayumi’s nationality, but said he was reported missing by his mother in Pennsylvania earlier on Saturday. Jessica Tisch, the New York police commissioner, told reporters at an earlier press conference in Manhattan that the devices contained triacetone triperoxide (TATP), a homemade and highly volatile chemical explosive known as “mother of Satan”. “These were not hoax devices, nor smoke bombs,” Tisch said. “They were improvised explosive devices that could have caused serious injury or death.” Tisch said she could “confirm that this is being investigated as an act of Isis-inspired terrorism”. And at a later, afternoon press conference, Tisch said investigators were “aware” of recent international travel by the pair, although she declined to elaborate. She said neither had a history of arrests nor previous encounters with law enforcement. On Saturday, she added, they were arrested within an hour of arriving in New York from Pennsylvania. According to an FBI agent with the New York joint terrorism taskforce whose name appears on the criminal complaint, Balut and Kayumi admitted their involvement in Saturday’s attempted bombing. “At approximately 12.15pm, an individual later identified as Emir Balat ignited and threw an item toward the area where the protesters were gathered,” that agent, Jennifer Gioia, wrote. “Immediately after throwing device 1, Balat ran to another location down the block and received a second item from an individual later identified as Ibrahim Kayumi. After apparently igniting device 2, Balat dropped [it] near where several NYPD officers were standing, ran away from the officers, and jumped over a barricade. He was tackled and arrested.” After their arrests, Gioia said, Balat pledged allegiance to IS, and Kayumi said his actions were “partly inspired” by the group. Balat, the document states, wanted his bombing to be “even bigger” than the terrorist attack on the 2013 Boston marathon that killed three and injured hundreds. Mamdani said the men had “traveled from Pennsylvania and attempted to bring violence to New York City”. The mayor praised two police officers whose “swift and decisive actions” he said led to the suspects’ prompt arrest as well as the devices being removed safely. “New York City will never tolerate violence, whether from protests or counter-protests,” he said, referring to the Stop the Islamic Takeover of New York City demonstration of about 20 people organized by far-right influencer Jake Lang, and dozens more who turned up to oppose it. skip past newsletter promotion Sign up to Breaking News US Free newsletter Get the most important news as it breaks Enter your email address Marketing preferences lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3 lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3 lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3 lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3lsa0rnikvohnyrhrxgj5ekzvnhwsexlov5ljrmb7bmdcygctuu6omr82ulkxr5nynfomafgewvgv3 Get updates about our journalism and ways to support and enjoy our work.

While I found this protest appalling, I will not waver in my belief that it should be allowed to happen.” Six people were arrested at the protest, which the New York Times reported featured several violent skirmishes, the throwing of raw eggs, and at least one of Lang’s supporters pepper-spraying a counter-protester. two police officers detain a man outside View image in fullscreen Ibrahim Kayumi, one of the suspects, is detained by police officers. Photograph: Madison Swart/Reuters Tisch said the NYPD was already on a heightened state of alert for terrorist acts because of the US and Israeli military strikes in Iran that began on 28 February. But Tisch said “we do not have any information that connects this investigation to what’s going on overseas in Iran”. Tisch added that the investigation was in its preliminary stages. And she said there was nothing so far that suggested the two arrested men had made any threats on social media or announced their intention to travel from Pennsylvania to New York. She said a third suspected device “consistent with the first two explosive devices” was found in a 2010 Honda tied to the suspects and parked nearby. The device was removed by a robot and tested negative for explosives. She said there was no information about a possible third suspect linked to the arrested men.

Iranian authorities have long encouraged public shows of support for the Islamic Republic while violently cracking down on dissent. Earlier this year, thousands of people were killed and tens of thousands detained during mass protests against the elder Khamenei.
