"A seventh US service member, whose identity the Pentagon has yet to share publicly, died in the conflict Saturday from injuries they received from an Iranian attack on a US base in Saudi Arabia on March 1. Iran selected Mojtaba Khamenei to succeed his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as the country's supreme leader, a selection that sends Trump a 'strong message of defiance.'"
"A video 'adds to the evidence that an American missile likely hit an Iranian elementary school where 175 people, many of them children, were reported killed.' Trump on Saturday attended the dignified transfer of the remains of six other US service members who were killed in Kuwait by an Iranian drone strike."
"The price of oil neared $120 a barrel as the Strait of Hormuz's closure continues to reverberate. The US has so far left alone Kharg Island, a tiny speck off Iran's coast that's critical to the country's oil industry."
The US-Iran conflict has intensified to day ten, with a seventh American service member dying from injuries received during an Iranian attack on a US base in Saudi Arabia on March 1. Iran selected Mojtaba Khamenei as the new supreme leader, signaling defiance toward the Trump administration. Evidence suggests an American missile struck an Iranian elementary school, killing approximately 175 people including many children. Trump attended a dignified transfer ceremony for six service members killed in Kuwait by an Iranian drone strike. Oil prices have surged near $120 per barrel due to the Strait of Hormuz closure, while the US has not targeted Kharg Island, Iran's critical oil infrastructure.
