#US bears brunt of Israel’s missile defense, #Pentagon assessments show

The US military has depleted much of its inventory of advanced missile-defense interceptors after expending far more high-end munitions defending #Israel amid hostilities with #Iran than Israeli forces used themselves, according to #Defense Department assessments described to WaPo.

Reuters reports that Iran's Supreme Leader, M. Khamenei, has banned the transfer of Iran's enriched uranium stockpile to any location abroad.

Israeli sources to Reuters: Trump promised Israel that the enriched uranium would leave Iran, and any possible deal would include this clause.

It wasn’t immediately clear who was behind these incidents, but they happened as a snr Iranian ofcl reiterated his country’s claim of control over the waterway & another said it had a right to seize #oil tankers connected to the #US.

It’s hard to think of a time when the #UnitedStates suffered a total defeat in a conflict, a setback so decisive that the strategic loss could be neither repaired nor ignored.

Gas prices are going up again, and there's only so much politicians can do.

Gas tax breaks might save you a little, but not much. The big driver is supply issues — like what’s happening with #Iran right now.

What’s in the price of a gallon of gas?

As US gas prices climb, politicians are looking at ways to lower them. An economist breaks down what does − and doesn’t − move the number on the sign at the gas station.

#US forces fired on & disabled 2 Iranian #oil tankers on Friday after exchanging fire with #Iran forces in the #StraitOfHormuz overnight. The #UAE, meanwhile, reported another Iranian missile & drone attack.

The attacks cast more doubt on a tenuous month-old “ceasefire” that the US has insisted is still in effect. The #Trump admin is awaiting an Iranian response to its latest proposal for a deal to end the #war, reopen the strait & roll back Iran’s #nuclear program.

So much for the “ceasefire” talks going well. Not that I believe anything from this admin.

The Trump admin’s approach to the #IranWar over the past 24 hrs has pinballed from declarations that a tenuous ceasefire was holding & military operations were over to new threats of bombing the Islamic Republic.

The #US #military fired on an Iranian #oil tanker Wednesday as #Trump seeks to pressure #Iran into accepting a deal to end the #war.

A fighter jet shot out the rudder of the tanker in the Gulf of Oman as it tried to breach the US #blockade of Iran’s ports, #CENTCOM posted.

The attack occurred as Iran & the US are supposedly in a ceasefire. Trump threatened Tehran with a new wave of bombing if a deal is not reached that includes opening the critical #StraitOfHormuz.

apnews.com/article/iran-us-isr…

#Trump posted on social media that the war with #Iran could soon end & #oil & natural #gas shipments could restart. But that all depends on Iran accepting a reported agreement that Trump did not detail.

“If they don’t agree, the bombing starts,” Trump wrote.

Trump made similar threats before—including posting that “a whole civilization will die”—but this time, they were accompanied by military action. Trump posted Monday afternoon that the military “shot down” 7 Iranian boats in the strait.
