00:00Thirteen American service members gave their lives in the war against Iran.
00:04Today, as the ceasefire holds and the Strait of Hormuz reopens,
00:09it's time to understand what they died for and what their sacrifice achieved.
00:13The conflict lasted 3.5 months.
00:15It began with U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites
00:19in response to Iran's advanced nuclear program.
00:23Iran retaliated by closing the Strait of Hormuz,
00:26cutting off 20% of the world's oil supply.
00:30U.S. carrier groups entered the Persian Gulf.
00:32Aerial and naval battles followed.
00:35Between 8,000 and 17,000 people were killed across the region.
00:39Iran's top theocratic leaders were killed in the strikes.
00:43Now, on Trump's 80th birthday, a deal was reached.
00:46The Strait is open, sanctions are lifting, and 60 days of nuclear talks begin.
00:51Thirteen Americans didn't come home.
00:54Their names deserve to be remembered.
