Chapter 1: How is Iran disrupting the global fuel supply?
Iran keeps trying to disrupt the global fuel supply. I'm Dave Anthony, Fox News. Three commercial ships have been hit in the Strait of Hormuz. One caught fire. Iran's also sent drones into Gulf countries, some targeting oil facilities there, but were shot down. And as Iranian boats put mines in that key oil shipping lane, the U.S. is targeting them and Iran's navy.
President Trump issuing a stark warning to Iran, posting the following. If for any reason mines were placed and they are not removed forthwith, the military consequences to Iran will be at a level never seen before. Central Command also releasing numbers now. The fresh numbers, 60 Iranian ships destroyed by U.S. and Israeli forces.
This is Steve Harrigan near the Iran border in Armenia. And as Iran also launches missiles into Israel that have been shot down, American and Israeli strikes continue across Iran, which has a new leader who's got the low profile.
Israeli and Iranian officials have told several media outlets that Iran's new supreme leader was lightly wounded in the legs on day one of the war.
Chapter 2: What military actions has the U.S. taken against Iran?
One Israeli official saying that could explain why Moshtaba Khamenei hasn't been seen in public. He was chosen to replace his father, who died in an Israeli airstrike in the opening hours of the conflict. Moshtaba's appointment reportedly pushed through by the Revolutionary Guard because he'd followed their hardline agenda.
This is Jonathan Savage. Oil prices are rising again today and so is gasoline. An inflation report this morning shows only a modest increase in consumer prices last month, but that was pre-war inflation. Two people are dead in Lake Village, Indiana after a tornado ripped through.
The same twister may also be the one that tore up parts of Kankakee, Illinois, where Meena Patel's business is among the many homes and buildings damaged.
I didn't know I was going to survive. I was in the bathroom, locked up. Everything was blowing out. I can see it. I couldn't open my door because the pressure, when the window broke, all the pressure, I couldn't open my door. My mother-in-law was sitting outside. I couldn't even help her.
Chapter 3: What impact is the Iran conflict having on oil prices?
I'm glad she's safe.
But seven others in Kankakee were injured. America's listening to Fox News.

Chapter 4: How did recent tornadoes affect Lake Village, Indiana?
And now, more details of that pre-war inflation report we got this morning.
The Consumer Price Index rose 0.3% in February, up 0.2%, excluding food and energy. For the year ending in February, the CPI was up 2.4%, and core CPI for the year, excluding food and energy, rose 2.5%. The annual numbers are in line with expectations and suggest inflation held steady last month. The February report does not include any impact from higher oil prices from the conflict in Iran.
Chapter 5: What does the latest inflation report reveal?
The Federal Reserve is expected to leave interest rates unchanged at its meeting next Tuesday and Wednesday. The CPI peaked at 9.1% in June of 2022. Ginny Koselda, Fox News.
Now some fallout from the Doge effort to slash federal government spending.
The Social Security's inspector general is investigating the anonymous whistleblower complaint that says a former employee of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency claimed he had access to two Social Security databases filled with information on more than 500 million living and dead Americans.
According to a Washington Post report, the whistleblower says the Doge worker had planned to take that data and share it with a new employer. The databases contain Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, race and ethnicity, and parents' names.
