We begin tonight with the escalating battle over one of the world's most vital shipping channels.

Participle clauses

The US And Iran trading new threats around the Strait of Hormuz, sending gas prices skyrocketing here in the US this new video just into our newsroom showing strikes on more than a dozen Iranian vessels, including what the military said were ships that could have laid explosive mines in the strait.

The president warning if Iran attacked ships there, the US Would hit back even harder.

That comes just hours after the defense secretary vowed in his words, the most intense day of strikes yet.

That intensity on full display in these new videos, launchers firing and intercepting Iranian missiles in the sky.

Iranian launchers the US Says were hitting in tunnels and under overpasses, blown to bits.

And this Iranian boat after boat after boat going up in flames.

As we're learning more about the toll this war is taking on our service members.

The Pentagon announcing some 140 wounded in addition to the seven that have already been killed.

And we start with Garrett Hake at the White House tonight.

Tonight, a massive wave of US And Israeli strikes on the Iranian regime and a wild ride for oil prices due in part to this post from Energy Secretary Chris Wright that, quote, the U.S.

navy successfully escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz.

I can confirm that the US Navy has not escorted a tanker or a vessel at this time.

President Trump warning Iran to stop threatening oil tankers from traveling through the strait.

I will not allow a terrorist regime to hold the world hostage and attempt to stop the globe's oil supply.

And if Iran does anything to do that, they'll get hit at a much, much harder level.

And oil prices tonight plunging down to around $86 a barrel, all as inside Iran.

The Pentagon says it struck over 5,000 targets.

Today will be yet again our most intense day of strikes inside Iran.

The most fighters, the most bombers, the most strikes, including taking out hidden missile launchers.

Bonus, ballistic missile attacks continue to trend downward, 90% from where they've started.

And one way attack drones have decreased 83%.

Though Iran still launching attacks on its Arab neighbors.

This video showing an Iranian drone chased by a United Arab Emirates fighter jet.

In Bahrain, the government says a woman was killed during an Iranian strike on a residential neighborhood.

Tonight, new questions over the war's timeline with President Trump saying the U.S.

is, quote, very far ahead of its initial four to five week schedule.

It's going to be finished pretty quickly, but

also We've already won in many ways, but we haven't won enough.

And the president has also suggested he should have a role picking the new Iranian leader.

Is the ending of this war also contingent on Iran selecting a leader that the president finds acceptable?

And if so, how is that not the definition of a regime change war?

As President Trump has blatantly and frankly stated, it's obviously within the best interest of the United States and the west to no longer have a radical terrorist in charge of Iran.

We have objectives that we have laid out that the commander in chief wants to see achieved.

And now a new image of the five members of the Iranian women's soccer team just granted asylum in Australia.

Iranian state TV branded them traitors for protesting the Iranian regime by refusing to sing the national anthem.

Yesterday on the team bus, players had flashed a sign for help as crowds chanted save our girls.

They are safe here and they should feel at home here.

Gary joins us tonight again from the White House.

So I know you have new reporting on the U.S.

service members who have been injured in this war.

The Pentagon is saying 140 service members or so have been wounded, most of them with minor injuries and they've returned to duty, but

Last night, the dignified transfer ceremony for Army Sergeant Benjamin Pennington was held.

He's the seventh service member killed in this war, Tom.

All right, Garrett, all that uncertainty over the shipping channel as well.

In the Middle east, the price of oil may have gone down today, but

Camilla Bernal now on the impact those prices are having.

Fallout from the war plain to sea at every gas station across the U.S.

the price of a gallon of gas now up 55 cents since the war began.

It definitely makes us second guess some of the financial decisions that we make in California.

With the country's highest prices, gas is well above $5 a gallon, 200 miles, 2, 300 miles a day.

Yasha Timinovich drives for rideshare and delivery services for about 10 hours a day.

What is it like for you when you drive around and you see gas at 579 a gallon?

Wild swings in crude oil prices also hitting hard for farmers just beginning the spring planting season.

I have a tractor that requires a hundred gallons of diesel fuel to fill it up and it costs me $469.

John Boyd grows soybeans, corn and wheat at his fourth generation family farm in Virginia.

He says his fertilizer supplier can't even deliver what he needs due to the war and the bombing through that area, the fertilizer isn't moving, which means it won't be readily available at all to me right now.

And at Josie's Flowers in North Hollywood, Fernando Ayala has already raised prices for deliveries by 20%.

If I have to eat the gas every time, it's going to hurt, it's going to hurt.

And people are paying between 5 and 15 more dollars on average in comparison to last week to fill up their gas tanks.

But with pressure on the oil markets, those prices could continue to go up.
