US bombing of Iran keeps escalating, oil is climbing, and everyday Americans are getting squeezed — bad news for travelers, oil markets, and household budgets.

• The US says it hit Iranian forces after two American service members were killed, marking over a week of nightly strikes.
• Jordan evacuated the airport and seaport at Aqaba over a credible threat, making it harder for people to leave.
• Oil is near $88 Brent and could hit $100 this week as the fighting drags on.
• War spending means less money for schools, healthcare, and transport at home — where a basic health plan can run $530 a month versus a $19 clinic visit in Norway or a $120 hospital bill in Taiwan.
• A reported $50 million Israeli campaign, including paid influencers and AI text bots, is pushing Americans to back the war.

Outlook: With no sign the strikes are stopping, expect oil prices to keep rising and travel in the region to stay disrupted.
