But even if other countries joined, there's no guarantee that the Strait would reopen because of the risks facing traders.

Industry insiders have told Reuters that only Iran could offer enough reassurance to resume shipping.

Over the weekend, oil prices rose as the U.S.

targeted another site northwest of the Strait, Harg Island, a strip of land in the Persian Gulf.

It's a key processing hub for Iran's oil exports that's essential to its economy.

U.S.

struck the island, but they stopped short of hitting oil facilities.

Erin McLean, senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and a former Marine, explained the significance on CBS.

On Saturday, Iran accused the U.S.

of using bases in the United Arab Emirates to strike Harg Island and threatened to attack infrastructure in response.

In other updates over the weekend, the Pentagon identified the six US military members who died last week when a refueling aircraft crashed in Iraq under circumstances that are still being investigated.

Their deaths bring the total number of American service members killed to at least 13.

According to Iran's UN representative, at least 1,348 civilians in the country have been killed since the war began.

Meanwhile, temperatures plummeted in the northern part of the country, in some cases into the single digits and lower.

Blizzard conditions hit parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin over the weekend.

And the final threat, storms will hit a large swath of the East Coast today, affecting nearly 100 million people.

Even Hawaii is experiencing extremes, breaking daily rainfall records and facing flash flood warnings.
