US Continues Strikes on Iran for 10th Night
The United States has been bombing Iran for 10 nights in a row.
This started because Iran attacked American allies and ships in important waterways like the Strait of Hormuz, which is a big route for oil.
The US wants to make sure ships can travel safely again.
Meanwhile, Iran is also causing problems in the Red Sea, which is another important route for oil.
This is making oil prices go up, which affects people's wallets.
Some countries are trying to help stop the fighting by talking to both sides.
The US has also said it will keep attacking Iran if they keep hurting American soldiers.
US military conducted its 10th consecutive night of strikes on Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran launched attacks on US allies Kuwait, Jordan, and Bahrain, and targeted civilian infrastructure.
Diplomatic efforts are underway with Iran's interior minister in Pakistan for talks.
Oil prices have risen, with Brent crude above $88 per barrel and US gasoline averaging $4 per gallon.
Iran-backed rebels in Yemen announced a maritime embargo against Saudi Arabia, threatening another key oil route.
