The Pentagon announced that approximately 100 American soldiers have been wounded in the last two weeks during the ongoing war with Iran. The attacks revealed the scale of Iranian attacks on American military bases in the region, following the collapse of negotiations aimed at ending the conflict. It was stated that 96 percent of the wounded soldiers returned to duty and the vast majority suffered mild traumatic brain injuries.
While the US military identified the two soldiers killed in the deadly attack on the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan on Friday night, the total American death toll reached 18 with another incident in Iraq on Saturday. The Iran Revolutionary Guards announced that they also carried out large-scale attacks on American facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain.
The clashes seriously threaten global oil supply; the blockade imposed by the Houthis on oil shipments in the Red Sea and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz further restricted oil flow. With the impact of this crisis, average gasoline prices in the US reached 4 dollars per gallon, and the barrel price exceeded 90 dollars.
