I spoke about the Gulf with Daniel Yergin.

He's a longtime expert on the oil industry who's now at S&P Global.

So the Asian countries could be looking at oil shortages.

Now, that shouldn't happen here in the U.S.

because this country is the world's largest oil producer.

But oil is a global commodity, so the prices rise for everyone.

Well, the short answer is yes.

We heard this week from the U.S.

Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard.

She testified before both the Senate and the House.

And she said the Iranian government has been badly degraded, but it's still intact.

She said the country's new supreme leader, Mustafa Khamenei, was badly injured in the strike that killed his father, the previous supreme leader.

Israel says it's killed dozens of political and military leaders and keeps announcing more almost daily.

But Iran's government is very much a system with lots of layers and power centers.

It's not based on an individual.

So it seems the government is still functioning and the military is definitely carrying out attacks.

Sure.

Thanks, Scott.

We didn't see the new leader, Moshe Bahamaneh, and we didn't hear his voice.

This statement was read on Iranian state media in his name.
