#Diesel hit a new record price in the #US on Friday, soaring to an average of $5.85 a gallon for the first time ever as the 6-month-long #war with #Iran continues to disrupt the world’s flow of #fuel.

On Sunday, the #US #military said it struck rocket launchers on #LarakIsland in the #StraitOfHormuz. #Iran responded by launching missiles at US sites in #Jordan, which were intercepted, while #UAE said it stopped an Iranian drone over its waters.

#US says it's striking targets in #Iran as hostilities flare again after month with little #military action
CENTCOM said Tuesday that the strikes “follow recent attempted attacks by the IRGC against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz & against American service members deployed to the region.”

[Prior to his resignation] #ArmySecretary #DanDriscoll brought his concerns about the future of the #Army under #Defense Secretary Pete #Hegseth directly to #Trump — a sign of how far tensions between the #Pentagon leaders had escalated, & of the #dysfunction inside the building….

Leaders of the US European Command, the US Pacific Command & the US Southern Command, along with the Navy’s top admiral, responded with what is characterized in the #SDOB as a “non-concur,” those familiar with the assessment said — meaning they disagree with the secretary’s order to extend their forces but will execute it nevertheless.

The Aug 14 #SDOB directs some troops deployed in the #MiddleEast to remain there through September & some others into 2027, said those familiar with the document. The prospect of extending those forces further compelled #military leaders to voice their concern, these people said.

The #US #defense official said the most concerning shortfall involves #PatriotMissile interceptors, which can shoot down #Russia’s high-speed ballistic missiles. The #NATO official confirmed the low inventories of Patriots among US & NATO forces in #Europe. Both spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive #military matters.

…Some #US #intelligence officials saw Israel’s sharing of the warning about threats to #Trump’s life as designed less to inform than to influence the president’s decision-making & US #policy in the region, a current & a former US official said.

A top #Iran national security official delivered a sweeping set of demands on Saturday that he said the #US must meet before the #StraitOfHormuz can reopen to maritime traffic, throwing the fate of the critical #trade waterway into question.

Visuals Suggest #US Dropped 2,000-Pound Bomb on Home in #Iran, Killing 3
The weapon, one of the largest in the US’ arsenal, struck a house in a heavily populated area, according to a Times analysis.

The #US #economy slowed in the second quarter of the year, expanding at an annual rate of 1.5% as #Trump’s #war in #Iran upended #prices, #SupplyChains & #energy markets.

The meeting comes as both face growing pressures at home. #Netanyahu is up for reelection & is embattled in part because of his deteriorating relationship with #Trump. Trump is under pressure to end an unpopular #war that has wreaked economic havoc & driven prices higher ahead of #midterm #elections this November.

#Netanyahu will meet with #Trump for first time since the #IranWar began.
The two also plan to discuss the framework agreement the #US & #Israel signed with #Lebanon over the Israel - #Hezbollah #war & the expansion of the #AbrahamAccords, according to a White House official.

…Since the renewed hostilities began, the #Pentagon has provided even less information about #military strategy & casualties than it did during the first phase of the conflict. The Pentagon has not held a press briefing about the #war since early May, & officials at #US CENTCOM have stopped providing casualty updates to reporters.

The #US & #Israel launched the #war in #Iran on Feb 28, & 14 troops were killed in the initial waves of fighting. Washington & Tehran agreed to a ceasefire in April & then signed an interim deal to end the war in mid-June.
It was short-lived.… #Trump soon declared that the ceasefire was over.
The #Pentagon system’s new “Overseas Operations” category says it tallies casualties starting July 7.

By Wednesday, the #IranWar figures in the #Pentagon’s system fell back to 14 dead & 420 wounded. However, a #US official told AP at the time that the actual number of wounded personnel in the war had actually grown to well over 500 troops.
The Pentagon’s top spokesman, Sean Parnell, took to social media that day to assert that the reported drop was a “temporary data disruption.”

Adding further confusion, when the #Pentagon announced 2 of the deaths in Jordan, it said the troops were supporting the #US mission to counter the Islamic State group. The other 2 were announced in press releases simply as supporting overseas operations.
#Trump confirmed the total, writing in a Truth Social post on Tuesday that the “Iran Military Conflict” had claimed 18 lives.

It appeared to reflect that 4 soldiers had been killed since fighting resumed despite the signing of an interim ceasefire deal last month — 3 on a base in Jordan that was struck July 17 by Iranian ballistic missiles & drones, & 1 in Iraq a day later during a controlled detonation of an Iranian drone.

Six soldiers with the #Army’s 103rd Sustainment Command died as a result of the strike & dozens more were wounded, some seriously. The attack stands as one of the #Iran war’s costliest for #US personnel & the #Trump admin, souring many Americans on Trump’s decision to start the conflict & raising questions about the precautions taken ahead of time to protect those put in harm’s way.

#Trump addressed a range of topics in the interview, including the expected length of the conflict, his surprise at Iran’s widespread retaliation [idiot] & the country’s expected succession plan.
Asked whether the #US is doing more beyond the #military assault to help the #IranianPeople regain control of their country from the regime, Trump said, “Yes.”
“We are indeed. But right now we want everyone staying inside. It’s not safe out there.”

#Trump Has No Plan for the #IranianPeople [shocker. gasp. color me freaking floored.]
The mere act of bombing #Iran will not by itself create a stable regime. [no doubt]

#Russia hasn’t commented on the apparent #US operation against the Russian-flagged #OilTanker. In a statement issued on Tuesday to the state news agency #Tass, the Russian Foreign Ministry said the vessel was operating in full compliance with international #MaritimeLaw, & said it was receiving increased attention from the US & #NATO “disproportionate to its peaceful status.”
