War with Iran: Day 11

9-1-1, where is the emergency?

It's the middle of the night in a small town on the Jersey Shore.

Someone reports an abandoned car on a bridge.

A search gets underway for the missing driver, 19-year-old Sarah Stern.

Is it a missing person? Is it a suicide?

At this point, nobody knows.

Old friendships, buried cash, and a sinister plot that was once pitched as a movie plays out in real life.

I'm Juju Chang from 2020 and ABC Audio.

Now to the late breaking developments in the war with Iran.

The US and Israel are intensifying their bombing campaign.

But a new Ipsos poll shows Americans remain uncertain about the war.

With 64% saying that President Trump has not explained the objectives of the war clearly.

It's day 11 of the war with Iran.

Here's ABC's Chief Foreign Correspondent, Ian Panel.

Tonight, the Pentagon saying today would be the most intense day of the war so far.

From its serious questions over the shifting timelines.

24 hours ago, President Trump said of the war quote,

it's very complete.

Pretty much.

Later adding, it's pretty well complete.

The President making those comments amid extreme volatility in the oil markets.

Tonight, it's very clear this war is raging on.

We will not relent until the enemy is totally and decisively defeated.

But we do so.

We do so on our timeline and at our choosing.

Late today, amid reports Iran's now planning to lay minds in the strait of Hormuz,

where tankers carry 20% of the world's oil,

the US now saying it's eliminated 60 mind-laying vessels.

The President warning around the military consequences of mining the straice will be

at a level never seen before.

President Trump fully aware the war on Iran has led to shock over skyrocketing oil prices globally

and gas prices in the US.

The US military is drawing up additional options following the President's directive

to continue keeping the strait of Hormuz open.

I will not broadcast what those options look like, but just know the President is not afraid to use them.

But tonight, Iran issuing a direct threat to the President saying,

be careful not to get eliminated yourself.

And today, confusion over whether the US Navy has escorted a ship through the dangerous strait.

A post, with video from Energy Secretary Chris Wright,

said the US Navy successfully escorted an oil tanker through the strait of Hormuz.

But then, about 30 minutes later, that social media post was deleted.

The Department blaming staff for a quote incorrect caption.

The White House says it never happened.

And tonight, the human toll on American service members and their families.

The Pentagon now confirming at least 140 American service members have been injured so far in this war.

Eight severely wounded.

ABC News learning new details about the Iranian drone strike that killed six US soldiers in Kuwait.

A source telling ABC News the soldiers there had taken shelter in a bunker

as air defense systems intercepted a wave of Iranian drones.

But moments after the all-clear was given to return to their work building,

a drone slamming into the structure.

And for the first time tonight, we're hearing from one of the surviving soldiers inside that building.

Minnesota Army Sergeant First Class Corey Hicks.

I remember hearing like a buzzing noise like a louder and louder like really quickly.

Hicks describing the harrowing moments before that deadly drone came crashing in.

I remember turning my head to the left and I seen the nose of that drone pop through.

And as soon as it did, I knew what it was.

It was either a missile or a drone.

So I turned to my right and that's when it blew up and just blew the whole building apart.

The married father with young children of his own recovering from serious shrapnel injuries and a severed spleen.

Speaking to ABC affiliate KSTP from his hospital bed at Walter Reed,

remembering one of the service members who did not survive.

Master Sergeant Nicole Amor.

She was literally five feet from me and they happened.

When I looked over my left shoulder, the drone impacted basically right above her.

She was just the kindest woman ever.

She was very caring and willing to go the extra mile for you.

Our thanks to Ian.

There are renewed concerns for the global energy supply as the war rages on.

And the flow of oil out of the Middle East is disrupted.

The impact is already being felt here at home.

That story when we come back.

The CEO of the world's largest oil producers raising the alarm, warning of catastrophic consequences,

if the supply chain disruption due to the war goes on much longer.

Here at home, the impact is worsening, with prices at the pump soaring.

Here's ABC's Elizabeth Schulze.

The surging price at the pump is now squeezing American businesses and putting new strain on family budgets.

In Maryland, Naima Cotes is afraid she won't be able to afford her drive to work.

I have got so hooked.

And it's the car that you're already going on with the inflation going on with groceries and gas.

And it's just ridiculous.

It's an added car, yeah.

The national average hitting $3.57 a gallon.

Up 63 cents since the war in Iran began.

Diesel is now up a full dollar since the start of the war to $4.74 a gallon.

Spiking transportation costs in every corner of the economy.

From farming and food transport to manufacturing and construction.

Shlomo Dostokom manages a moving company with trucks running on diesel.

If you're talking about five trucks, that's $500 per day increase.

You're paying $500 more per day on diesel right now than last week.

That's a big cost.

It is.

For now, he's absorbing those extra costs.

But worries he'll have to raise prices.

It will translate to the consumer eventually.

We have to be passed down to consumers.

Eventually it has to.

Our thanks to Elizabeth.

Hey, this is Byard Winthrop, founder of American Giant.

I started this company because I was fed up with cheap clothes that didn't last and a system that ship manufacturing overseas.

We believed we could still make incredible hoodies, t-shirts, and pants right here in the U.S.

With American cotton, American factories, and people earning real wages.

That's what American Giant stands for.

Building clothes that actually last.
