WorldUS launches ninth night of Iran strikes as Hormuz standoff pushes oil above $90
The United States carried out a ninth consecutive night of strikes against targets in Iran early Monday. The attacks followed the military’s confirmation that an American service member was killed in northern Iraq while conducting a controlled detonation involving unexploded ordnance on a downed Iranian attack drone. It was the third US military death reported in recent days. Donald Trump said the latest strikes were carried out “in honour” of those killed. Brent crude rose above $90 a barrel amid the continuing Strait of Hormuz standoff, reaching its highest level since June.
