Bad news all around: the US-Iran war has widened again, with American troops now dying and costs soaring past $100 billion.

• Two US service members were killed and one is missing after Iran hit a base in Jordan with missiles and drones — the first US deaths since fighting resumed two weeks ago.
• Iran is landing hits despite US defenses, using fast, maneuvering missiles, and may be getting targeting help from China or Russia.
• Trump is expected to hit back harder, moving from tit-for-tat strikes toward raids and possibly troops on the ground.
• The war, once billed as a 4-to-6 week fight, is now almost 5 months in and has cost over $100 billion, a figure the Pentagon keeps dodging.
• A US naval blockade is stopping Iranian oil tankers, while Israel keeps expanding forced-displacement zones that now cover 70% of Gaza.

Outlook: More US strikes are likely happening now, and pressure is building toward a bigger, longer war rather than any deal.
