Oil prices to rise as Iran's leaders die - Omokri
Iran's foreign minister, Hossein Amirabdollahian, and other officials also died in the air mishap.
Omokri shared his thoughts about the unfortunate development of the oil-producing nation and asserted that 'tensions will rise".
The prominent sociopolitical analyst also projected that there would be a hike in the price of oil.
He wrote on his verified X (formerly Twitter) handle:
"I hate to be this cold and analytical, but money is money and must be made. Therefore, if the news about the helicopter crash in Iran turns out to be accurate, and if the Iranian President, Ebrahim Raisi, was in that aircraft, then whatever the ultimate result of that crash, tempers are going to fly in the Gulf and MENA region.
"Suspicions will arise, and tensions will rise. In which case, the price of oil is likely to increase. You did not cause it."
