  "account": "The United States and Iran have once again clashed over control of the Strait of Hormuz, driving up oil prices. The US military attacked Iranian Revolutionary Guard radar systems and sea mine laying equipment, while Iran retaliated with rocket and drone strikes on Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain. These countries are allied with Washington and host US military bases. President Donald Trump dismissed the \"large and mighty\" military attacks as retaliation for Iran's failed attempt to lay sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz. He claimed the strikes were in response to Iranian attacks on military bases in Jordan, which were successfully defended. US military stated Iranian attacks on merchant ships in the strategically important waterway were also a factor. Iran claimed several people, including a child, were killed in an attack on a wedding party in Sirik, with 63 people injured. Local media reported explosions in several regions of Iran, including Gheschm island, Bandar Abbas, Konarak, and Chabahar. Iran vowed to continue retaliation, despite the US denying attacking its bases in Erbil, Iraq. The latest round of hostilities marks the first since late July. Oil prices soared once more in response to the renewed tension in the Middle East, breaching $95 per barrel. Trump threatened further escalation, stating that Iran would face even harsher consequences if it responded to the attacks. He reiterated his position that the US has almost complete control of the Strait of Hormuz, and its economy is collapsing. The Strait of Hormuz remains a central point of contention between Washington and Tehran, with Iran blocking ships and the US escorting vessels through the passage.",
