DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) \u2014 Iran attacked a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz early Tuesday, forcing its crew to abandon the ship, while the United States conducted yet another round of airstrikes targeting the Islamic Republic as they struggle over control of the key waterway. <\/p>\n

The 10 consecutive nights of U.S. airstrikes haven\u2019t compelled Tehran to loosen its grip on the strait, through which about a fifth of all crude oil and natural gas traded once passed in peacetime. <\/p>\n

Even as the U.S. and Iran inch closer to all-out war again, Iran\u2019s interior minister traveled to Pakistan, a key mediator in the conflict, for talks. However, it remains unclear just what new deal could be reached to end the fighting. <\/p>\n

The interim deal signed last month that was meant to end the fighting has crumbled. Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has largely stalled. And as fighting intensifies, both sides have targeted civilian infrastructure relied on by millions of people. <\/p>\n

\u201cIran and groups supportive of Iran may target other U.S. interests overseas or at locations associated with the United States and Americans throughout the world,\u201d the U.S. State Department said in a new warning to Americans. <\/p>\n

The escalation has pushed oil prices higher in recent weeks. Benchmark Brent crude traded Tuesday above $88 a barrel and regular gasoline in the U.S. climbed to an average of $4 a gallon, keeping pressure on Americans\u2019 wallets ahead of midterm elections this fall. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the U.S. military identified two soldiers who were killed in Jordan in attacks that left a third person missing. Separately, the military confirmed another death in Iraq on Saturday during the \u201ccontrolled detonation\u201d of a downed Iranian drone. President Donald Trump took to social media on Monday to warn that \u201cEvery time Iran kills an American Soldier they will pay for that killing many times over!\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump was planning to attend a ceremony on Tuesday evening at Dover Air Force Base, where at least one service member\u2019s remains were due to arrive.<\/p>\n

US strikes come as ships attacked<\/h3>\n

The U.S. military\u2019s Central Command said Tuesday it targeted \u201cIranian military command centers, maritime capabilities, missile and drone launch sites and air defense systems.\u201d It released more footage of bombings that targeted sites in Iran.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmerican forces remain postured and prepared to hold Iran accountable for unwarranted aggression toward civilian mariners seeking to freely and openly transit the strait,\u201d the command said. <\/p>\n

However, traffic through the strait has slowed to crawl with the latest violence. The British military\u2019s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said a tanker came under attack early Tuesday in the strait off Oman, forcing the crew to abandon the vessel.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard claimed the attack, as well as two other attacks on ships Monday in the waterway. <\/p>\n

The route around Oman has been the one the U.S. military has encouraged ships to travel to avoid Iran\u2019s control. <\/p>\n

Tehran also hit U.S.-allied countries throughout the Middle East. Jordan military\u2019s said Tuesday that Iran targeted it with five drones, all of which were shot down. <\/p>\n

Nearly 100 US injuries since early July<\/h3>\n

The Pentagon\u2019s chief spokesperson said nearly 100 U.S. service members have been injured since the U.S. restarted strikes on July 7, and 96% of them have returned to duty.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe vast majority of injuries experienced were minor concussions,\u201d Sean Parnell posted Monday on X in response to a New York Times report that the Pentagon has withheld information about troop injuries from Iranian strikes. He denied that the Pentagon was hiding data about injuries.<\/p>\n

However, the Defense Casualty Analysis System, the military\u2019s clearinghouse for reporting deaths and injuries in conflict, has not been updated as of Monday night with the latest attacks.<\/p>\n

Yemen rebels threaten attacks on other Mideast waterway<\/h3>\n

Yemen\u2019s Houthi rebels announced a maritime embargo against Saudi Arabia on Monday. The Houthis, who are backed by Iran, said they would block shipping between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden by targeting the Bab el-Mandeb, a maritime chokepoint like the Strait of Hormuz, in response to an attack on Sanaa International Airport last week that they blamed on Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

With the Strait of Hormuz blocked, Saudi Arabia has been relying on a pipeline to the Red Sea to get millions of barrels of oil out to market. The Houthis earlier demonstrated their ability to disrupt shipping there when they targeted ships for months over the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, with over 100 vessels attacked.<\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia\u2019s military said it would keep the waterway open.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll Houthi threats against transiting vessels will be dealt with swiftly and firmly, as such threats are a blatant violation of international law and fall under acts of maritime piracy,\u201d said Maj. Gen, Turki al-Malki, a Saudi military spokesman. <\/p>\n

A glimmer of hope for diplomacy<\/h3>\n

Pakistan has intensified diplomatic efforts in recent days to resuscitate the interim deal.<\/p>\n

Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni arrived in Islamabad on Monday for two days of talks with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and others. <\/p>\n

On Sunday, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters that the U.S. is still open to negotiating with Iran but that \u201cit has to be real.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the door opens to diplomacy \u2014 if the guys that want to do something productive for Iran win and take control of that system, or take control of the negotiations \u2014 that\u2019ll be a very positive development,\u201d Rubio said. \u201cThat\u2019s not where we are tonight, unfortunately.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iranian authorities on Sunday said at least 50 people have been killed and 517 wounded in the latest rounds of U.S. strikes. Since the war began on Feb. 28, 17 U.S. service members have been killed.<\/p>\n
