By Parisa Hafezi and Angus McDowall DUBAI, March 8 (Reuters) - Iran's next leader faces a massive external assault and growing internal anger, and while previous leaders relied on a hardcore of diehard ideologues in the population, it is far from clear how far his successor can do the same.

Wright told CNN on Sunday that disruptions to the petroleum and gas industry will last for a "few weeks" at most. The comments came after Israel attacked oil storage facilities in Tehran on Saturday, causing huge fires and plumes of smoke over the Iranian capital. Wright said: "These are Israeli strikes, these are local fuel depots to fill up the gas tank."
