# The United States launched new strikes against Iran after it earlier announced that two US military personnel were killed in Jordan and another was missing following an Iranian attack. The announcement brings the number of US service members killed since the war began to 16, while more than 420 have been wounded. The conflict, which began with US and Israel strikes on Iran at the end of February, has led to major disruption to energy supplies, fears over global inflation and a battle for control of the Strait of Hormuz.
