Has Khamenei died!? Can the market hold up after the U.S. attack on Iran on Monday?

February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched a large-scale military operation codenamed “Epic Fury” and “Roaring Lion,” unprecedentedly striking Iran’s military and government facilities.

The residence of Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei was hit with precision, and both the US and Israel are highly confident he has died, but Iran officially denies it.

The Strait of Hormuz has effectively been blocked, and global investors are holding their breath, awaiting Monday’s “stress test.”
