Explosions were heard across multiple parts of Iran on Thursday after the US military launched another wave of strikes targeting Iranian military capabilities. The US completed a 13th straight night of attacks on Iran following Houthi rocket strikes on Saudi vessels in the Red Sea. Crude oil prices shot up after the Red Sea joined the Strait of Hormuz as the wars second choke point. President Trump is considering launching a massive attack on Iran that would eclipse the first strikes. He stressed that the US does not need anybody to help in the campaign against Iran.
