00:02The United States has carried out a ninth straight night of strikes on Iran, with Iranian state media reporting new
00:09attacks that included the area around the country's only civilian nuclear plant.
00:14President Trump says Iran was hit very hard overnight as the conflict continues to grow after at least three U
00:21.S. service members were killed in the Middle East over the weekend.
00:24One service member died in northern Iraq during the controlled detonation of a downed Iranian drone.
00:31U.S. Central Command has also recovered unidentified remains in Jordan, where a separate Iranian attack left two American troops
00:38dead and another missing in action.
00:41Trump said the service members gave their lives to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
00:46But we hit them very hard again tonight, and we did that in honor of the probably three, it's probably
00:53three, as opposed to two, great patriots.
00:57Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the troops' deaths are a reminder of the price of war.
01:03Obviously, I think sometimes when you look at this stuff, we forget, we take for granted that our military is
01:09so effective, the mission they carry out is very, very dangerous.
01:11Look, our military all over the world, especially in that part of the world, but all over the world every
01:16single day, do very dangerous things.
01:19We've had people who lost their lives in training missions.
01:22Nothing the military does with state.
01:23It's all inherently dangerous, and we're just grateful to have such heroic Americans in uniform in the service of our
01:29country.
01:30The fighting is also spreading across the region.
01:33U.S. allies Kuwait and Bahrain reported new Iranian attacks early this morning.
01:38Iran's foreign ministry is also warning the U.S. will face the consequences if American forces try to seize Karg
01:45Island after Trump threatened to take control of the key oil export hub.
01:50The escalating conflict is also pushing energy prices higher.
01:54AAA says the national average of a gallon of gas has climbed above $4 for just the second time since
02:00the war began.
