Do you know what's going on with the war overseas?
And unfortunately, I don't have good news to start today with, because the number of service members who have died in this war in Iran has gone from eight to 11.
11 US service members killed, and there are 140 or so who are wounded right now.
And we are about a little over a week, almost two weeks into this war.
So just last night, here's what happened.
There were six U.S.
crew members who were aboard, but four of them who were on board with this group of six crew members were confirmed dead after their military refueling plane crashed in Iraq on Thursday while taking part in the Iran war operations.
That's what the U.S.
military said.
I think there was part of a refueling, obviously, as I said, a refueling plane.
So that's what they were doing when the plane crashed.
on Thursday.
So far, more than 1,270 people have been killed in Iran and at least 486 in Lebanon.
This is what UNICEF is reporting, that 1,100 children have been killed or wounded across the region.
And the Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, obviously assassinated on February 28.
His son, Mojtaba,
has since been elected as his successor.
As you know, yesterday he gave a statement saying that he would avenge the deaths of everyone who has died.
He called them martyrs, and especially those 170 or so people who died at the elementary school, most of them elementary school girls.
And so here's the cost of war.
