United States Central Command confirmed that U.S. forces carried out “self-defense strikes” in southern Iran, targeting missile launch sites and Iranian boats after threats against American forces. We break down what happened, why the strikes were ordered, and what this could mean for the region moving forward.
Meanwhile, Americans are already feeling the economic effects. According to reports, families were expected to spend nearly $2 billion more on gasoline this Memorial Day weekend compared to last year. With summer travel season underway, concerns are growing about what continued tensions with Iran could mean for fuel prices nationwide.
