WHAT HAPPENED

The U.S. Treasury secretary reiterated plans for weekly sanctions against Iran, while new reports describe Iranian counterattacks on U.S. bases in Jordan. The reports do not establish a new sanctions action beyond the previously reported plan.

SO WHAT?

The combination of ongoing economic pressure and attacks on U.S. forces sustains the risk of wider regional escalation.
