What happened

Well supportedReported by 53 independent outlets

The conflict in the Middle East, which has been ongoing for nearly seven months, continues to affect global energy markets through price spikes. Reports indicate that since the escalation began in February, the number of U.S. service members who have died in the Middle East may exceed what the Pentagon has publicly disclosed. Separately, a political figure is facing criticism for blaming the Iran war for high grocery prices in his region.
