Summary
U.S. strikes on Iranian targets mark the 10th straight day of escalating hostilities since Tehran killed three American soldiers — a conflict now threatening global oil flows, straining diplomacy, and fueling political pressure ahead of midterms.

A breakthrough? Unlikely without resolving who controls the chokepoint. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
