He testified before Congress on Tuesday to seek additional war funding. More attacks: The US military said late Tuesday it conducted more strikes on Iranian “military targets” in an 11th night of strikes. Iran said it had launched a counterassault. Global oil crisis: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Iran is “not serious about talks” and warned of creating a “dangerous precedent” in allowing Iran to control the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, two tankers carrying Saudi oil turned back after Houthi threats in the Red Sea. Trump’s warning: President Donald Trump said the US will probably soon hit the area of Pickaxe Mountain — a fortified underground facility believed to be connected to Iran’s nuclear program. Tehran said any attack on its nuclear facilities would expand the war in the region. The Pentagon said on Sunday that a third member of the American military had died during a weekend of intense exchanges of attacks with Iran, as the war escalated and the United States began sending more warplanes to the Middle East. The soldier was killed in northern Iraq during the disposal of a downed Iranian attack drone on Saturday, the Pentagon said. There was no sign of diplomacy between the two sides, and the U.S. military said Sunday evening Eastern time that it had begun conducting a new wave of strikes against Iran for the ninth consecutive night. American officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity said that the United States was sending more military jets to the Middle East, a move that was in the works even before the recent deaths. The fatalities raised to 17 the number of U.S. military personnel confirmed to have been killed in the war. On Friday, two soldiers were killed in an Iranian missile barrage in Jordan that left another soldier missing. A U.S. official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter, said on Sunday that remains recovered at scene were believed to be those of the missing soldier. The deaths came during a week of spiraling attacks by both sides that have sent global oil prices rising and have also hit sensitive infrastructure in the Middle East, including bridges and water facilities. Infrastructure that civilians rely on to survive are generally not considered legitimate military targets, and striking them could be considered a war crime. The U.S. military said early Sunday that it had attacked Iranian military coastal surveillance and air defense facilities, as well as the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps forces responsible for striking U.S. forces in Jordan. Iran retaliated with strikes on Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan, countries where the United States maintains a significant military presence. In recent days, Iranian attacks have damaged an oil facility and power as well as water treatment plants in Kuwait, according to the Kuwaiti authorities.
