Iran to Elect Supreme Leader Today, Trump Expresses Interest
**March 8 —** An Iranian Assembly of Experts member said a conference to elect the country’s Supreme Leader will take place within the next 24 hours, per Xinhua News Agency citing a March 7 message from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Ayatollah Muzafer, a member of the Assembly of Experts, noted current members are waiting for conditions to mature before carefully selecting the new Supreme Leader. He added no public announcement about the conference or election has been made so far, and urged the public not to trust rumors.
In response, former U.S. President Donald Trump expressed hope to participate in choosing Iran’s next leader, saying he does not want the U.S. to “face the same issue every five or ten years.” Trump had previously stated on March 5 that he “must personally participate” in selecting Iran’s next leader. That day, he also rejected the son of Iran’s late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as a successor, declaring, “I must personally be involve

「Fed's Megaphone」: Caught Between Global Events and Domestic Employment, the Fed Can Only Watch and Wait
Wall Street Journal reporter Nick Timiraos—often dubbed the “Fed Whisperer”—wrote in a March 8 article that the Federal Reserve has long feared being forced to choose between fighting inflation and protecting jobs. Friday’s jobs report brought this dilemma one step closer.
Timiraos cited Neel Kashkari, president of the Minneapolis Fed and a voting member of this year’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), who recently warned the current situation could be a “rerun” of the Russia-Ukraine conflict era. Kashkari cautioned the Fed not to repeat its 2021 mistake of labeling that year’s inflation spike as temporary.
On the Fed’s next moves, Timiraos speculated: “Right now, Fed officials may just wait and see. Fed Chair Jerome Powell pushed for three rate cuts by the end of last year, but each cut sparked growing internal debate among the 12-member rate-setting committee. Officials have made clear they’re in no rush to adjust rates at this month’s meeting—even a month of worrying data

South Korea is considering implementing a cap on oil prices for the first time in 30 years
**March 8 (Yonhap) — South Korea is weighing its first oil price ceiling in nearly 30 years amid surging energy costs linked to an escalating Middle East conflict, a source said Sunday.**
U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, followed by Iranian retaliation, have sent global oil prices soaring. Historically, international price swings took roughly two weeks to reach South Korea’s domestic market, but this time the impact was almost immediate — prompting officials to assess the feasibility of a cap.
The government is treading carefully, however, as the measure could bring side effects including market distortion and fiscal strain, the source noted.
Prior to this, President Lee Jae-myung ordered regional or fuel-specific price caps be rolled out promptly if a nationwide unified ceiling proves unworkable. The next day, he warned oil refiners against colluding to hike gasoline prices.
In line with the president’s instructions, the government has formed an interagency inspection tea
