West Asia war LIVE: U.S. strikes Iran for 10th consecutive night as Tehran strikes tanker in the Strait of Hormuz

“Iran and groups supportive of Iran may target other U.S. interests overseas or at locations associated with the United States and Americans throughout the world,” the U.S. State Department said in a new warning to Americans.

The escalation has pushed oil prices higher in recent weeks. Benchmark Brent crude traded Tuesday above $88 a barrel and regular gasoline in the U.S. climbed to an average of $4 a gallon, keeping pressure on Americans’ wallets ahead of midterm elections this fall.

Meanwhile, the U.S. military identified two soldiers who were killed in Jordan in attacks that left a third person missing. Separately, the military confirmed another death in Iraq on Saturday (July 18, 2026) during the “controlled detonation” of a downed Iranian drone.

President Donald Trump took to social media on Monday (July 20, 2026) to warn that “Every time Iran kills an American Soldier they will pay for that killing many times over!”
