Mojtaba Khamenei chosen as Iran's next supreme leader, Iranian state media reports

A seventh U.S. service member has died from injuries received during the initial attacks by the Iranian regime across the Middle East, the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced Sunday.

The service member, whose name was not immediately released, was seriously wounded on March 1 in an Iranian attack on U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia, according to CENTCOM.

Seven service members have now been killed in action during Operation Epic Fury, which was launched on Feb. 28, according to CENTCOM.

The Department of War later announced Sunday that another service member died from a medical emergency as a result of a non-combat related incident. They were identified as Maj. Sorffly Davius, 46, of Cambria Heights, Queens, New York.

Davius died on March 6 at Camp Buehring in Kuwait.

Six service members died Feb. 28 during an attack at Shuaiba port in Kuwait, a commercial harbor that doubles as a logistics hub for the U.S. military.

In addition to the dead, a U.S. official told ABC News that nine U.S. service members have been seriously wounded from attacks across the region.

President Donald Trump took to social media on Sunday, posting about the war in Iran's impact on oil prices.

Trump said that "short term oil prices" are a "very small price to pay" for safety and peace across the world.

"Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety and Peace. ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!" he wrote.

Oil prices have risen above $100 a barrel as the war continues. This means even higher gas prices are coming to the pump. Oil is trading at about $101 a barrel, up 11%.

Strikes from Iran were continuing in Bahrain Sunday night into Monday morning, according to the country's interior ministry.

Officials said injuries among citizens were reported, with one of them being serious. The number of those injured was not released.

The interior ministry said a number of houses in Sitra were damaged in the drone attacks.

Mojtaba Khamenei, the second-oldest son of assassinated Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has been chosen as the next supreme leader of Iran, according to Iranian state media.

He has become the third leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran by the vote of the Assembly of Experts, state media reported Sunday.

Mojtaba, 56, has long been viewed by analysts as a possible successor to Khamenei, who was killed last Saturday by a series of airstrikes in Tehran in the opening salvos of the U.S.-Israeli campaign. 

Analysts have broadly characterized Mojtaba as a powerful figure with limited public and international profiles, operating somewhat behind the scenes but enjoying major influence.
