Iran War

The United States has announced another death of a service member as it launches more airstrikes at Iran. It is targeting the Revolutionary Guard in response to the killing of U.S. troops. The military says the latest death on Saturday was in Iraq during the “controlled detonation” of a downed Iranian drone. Iran on Sunday fired missiles toward Jordan, risking a wider conflict with neighboring Israel. Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain activated defenses against Iranian drones and missiles. The U.S. and Iran have returned closer to all-out war as last month’s interim deal meant to permanently end the fighting has crumbled. The U.S. conducted a new round of airstrikes early Monday.

Video circulating online appears to show the moment Iranian missiles hit an air base in Jordan, killing two American service members. Another remains missing after the Friday attack. And another U.S. service member was killed in Iraq, reflecting how troops face lethal risks without being deployed into Iran. Seventeen have been killed since the U.S. and Israel launched the war. U.S. gas prices jumped to an average of $4 a gallon again Monday, and benchmark Brent crude rose above $90 a barrel, further fueling a global energy crisis sparked by the conflict.
