So let's hear more about this story.
The US-Israel war with Iran continues, causing deaths and injuries in Iran and elsewhere in the region.
The conflict is also impacting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz,
which is the stretch of sea near Iran that allows ships to reach the open ocean.
The US military says it has eliminated 16 Iranian mine laying ships in the area.
Iran continues its strikes across the region, including in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Kuwait.
People in Tehran have told BBC News Persian about heavy strikes and power cuts.
On Monday, US President Donald Trump said the war was very far ahead of schedule and very complete, pretty much.
Aside from the human cost, the war has had an impact on the global price of oil because of the difficulty shipping
oil from the region and the uncertainty over how long the war could last.
Our first headline is about this.
This is from The Washington Post, a US newspaper.
Oil prices seesaw as Trump sends mixed messages on what's next in Iran.
