The war on Iran is in its fourth week. Here’s what to know

(Zachary B. Wolf – CNN) Three full weeks of the war the US and Israel launched against Iran have shocked the world oil market, pierced a sense of safety in parts of the Middle East, and claimed the lives of US service members and civilians in multiple countries. Most recently, the Trump administration asked for, and then said it didn’t need, outside help securing a key shipping lane threatened by Iran — and then called NATO allies “cowards” for not helping clean up the mess. Israel said it killed more top Iranian leaders, and both Israel and the US started attacking Iran’s oil infrastructure. A top US intelligence official resigned in protest over the war, thousands more US sailors and Marines are headed to the Middle East, but, despite the destruction of most of its military, Iran’s regime remains intact. – The war on Iran is in its fourth week.
