Gas prices climb after Iran strikes, Trump offers tanker escorts

Seven U.S. service members have been killed in the ongoing war with Iran, with the latest being Army Sgt. Benjamin Pennington, honored in a dignified transfer ceremony. President Trump has indicated that the war may be nearing its end, yet he warns of potential larger strikes if Iran continues to threaten the Strait of Hormuz. Rising gas prices due to disruptions in oil traffic have sparked discussions about seizing Iranian oil, although Trump remains non-committal. Amid these tensions, a U.S. Tomahawk missile strike near an Iranian school is under investigation, and Trump claims Iran could have fired the missile, despite experts confirming only the U.S. possesses such munitions.
