War in Iran: Top ten cartoons of the week

The war in Iran has been raging for nearly a week, enough time for the nation's top cartoonists to weigh in on America's latest conflict in the Middle East.

Our most-reprinted cartoon about the war this week comes from Gary McCoy and features a relatable father worrying about his son's future as missiles fly.

Other popular cartoons touched on some of the many ramifications of the war at home – the skyrocketing price of gas, the lack of a clear reason why we had to launch an attack now, and the weird pseudo-gambling prediction markets letting people bet on life and death.

Here are our top ten most reprinted cartoons of the week:
