President Trump is threatening to hit Iran harder, and the fighting around one of the world's most important oil routes is intensifying.
Speaking at a rally in Alaska, the president warns the U.S. is "going to do a number on Iran," while insisting American forces control the Strait of Hormuz and are keeping oil moving.
But Iran is changing its tactics. Reuters reports Tehran is using unarmed spotters to help target vessels, as 24 ships have been hit in the past two weeks.
And the fighting isn't limited to the strait. Saudi Arabia and the Houthis are trading new strikes, raising concerns about a wider regional conflict. | @TreyYingst @foxandfriends
