According to the U.S. Central Command, the number of American military fatalities has risen to 17. The identification of the remains of another victim of the strike on the U.S. base in Jordan is also ongoing.
Over the weekend, Iran and the U.S. continued exchanging strikes, and the previous peace agreement has effectively lost its validity.
Despite this, Trump has not yet ordered an expansion of the military operation. Instead, he called on Congress to include new sanctions against Iran in the bill on sanctions against Russia.

According to Bloomberg, Washington plans to maintain the current course — striking Iranian targets and ensuring the safety of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
Experts warn that the parties have found themselves in a "cycle of escalation," and the conflict, which has been ongoing for the 21st week, remains a serious threat to international security and the global economy.
