Israel kills Iran’s intelligence minister, gas prices continue to surge

VIDEO: Israel kept up its campaign of targeting Iran’s leaders in an effort to weaken the country’s ruling theocracy, killing its third top official in two days. A strike killed Iran’s intelligence minister overnight, and the country’s state television confirmed the death of Esmail Khatib.

Iran lashed out with multiple attacks on its Persian Gulf neighbors and Israel. Meantime, oil prices surged 5 per cent above $108 a barrel, pushing up the price of gasoline around the world.
