Trump Weighs Renewed Iran Strikes After 13 U.S. Deaths as Oil Threatens $100

Trump is considering resuming military strikes on Iran, arguing Operation Epic Fury remains a "necessary evil" to stop Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
13 U.S. troops have already been killed and many more wounded, and Trump has framed further action as unavoidable because Iran's leadership cannot be trusted with a nuclear capability.
Oil moving from roughly $60-$70 a barrel toward $100 would quickly raise gasoline and broader consumer costs, spreading the war's burden beyond military families to U.S. households.
The case for renewed strikes is also becoming a political one, with Trump and advisers expected to defend higher economic costs as the price of preventing a nuclear-armed Iran.
