Iran's new supreme leader injured but 'safe' – president's son

Iran's new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is injured but safe and sound, according to President Masoud Pezeshkian's son, Yousef Pezeshkian. The injury occurred after his appointment over the weekend following the killing of his father, Ali Khamenei, in an airstrike at the start of the US-Israeli war against the Islamic republic. However, he has not been seen in public since his appointment and is believed to be sheltering at a highly secure location with limited communication.

Ali Khamenei lived with a partially paralyzed arm after being injured in an assassination attempt in 1981, blamed on the People's Mujahedin of Iran group. The supreme leader position is for life, and he also serves as a religious guide for Shia Muslims. Analysts predict he will remain out of public view for some time, given that he instantly became a target for assassination by the United States and Israel.

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

Firms see ample room for yuan borrowingSINGAPORE — Businesses see scope to borrow more yuan, according to a report published by Standard Chartered, which could support China’s push to globalize its currency. The London-based bank’s survey of 300 corporate clients across developed and emerging markets found companies’ debt exposure lagged their revenue or cost exposures to the yuan and that many expected yuan financing to grow. Almost a quarter of clients with existing yuan exposure said they expected to increase onshore or offshore yuan financing in the next three years. About 31 percent of all companies surveyed expected yuan financing would be steady or increase. “Across sectors, RMB revenue exposure through sales, procurement and supply-chain activity exceeds RMB debt exposure,” said Standard Chartered in the report, using initials for renminbi, the yuan’s official name. “This imbalance points to a structural underutilization of RMB financing.” The survey was conducted by emailed invitation to clients between December and January. China has sought for years to promote the yuan as a currency for world trade and financing and, from a low base, yuan-denominated debt markets are growing quickly. Payment use has also been rising, though with a roughly 3 percent share of global payments versus 50 percent for the dollar, according to Swift, the yuan has a long way to go. The Standard Chartered report noted demand for yuan usage varies across regions, with adoption largely driven by supply chains in Southeast Asia, while in the Middle East and parts of Africa, usage is concentrated in energy trade and infrastructure. reuters March 11, 2026
