"The attack underscored how four weeks into the U.S. and Israeli campaign, and despite a blistering assault that has hit more than 16,000 targets across the country, Iran maintains a potent missile arsenal capable of striking across the Middle East."
"President Donald Trump has appeared eager to end the conflict, which has roiled the global economy - and caused gas prices to spike in the United States - as Iran has stymied the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz."
"To date, 13 American service members have been killed as a result of Operation Epic Fury, the Trump administration's name for its war on Iran. Seven died as a result of hostile fire. Six were killed in a plane crash."
An Iranian attack on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia injured at least 10 U.S. troops, with two in serious condition. The strike also damaged U.S. Air Force refueling aircraft. Despite extensive U.S. and Israeli military operations, Iran retains a significant missile capability. President Trump has expressed a desire to end the conflict while deploying additional troops and threatening to target Iran's energy infrastructure. Since hostilities began, over 300 U.S. troops have been wounded, with 13 fatalities reported in Operation Epic Fury.
