The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

There are as many good reasons to support Ukraine as there are decent, Civilised people in the world. Pick yours, or many. But trust in ZSU, the Armed Forces of Ukraine. They have delivered time and time over, they will deliver again. Trust in Ukraine. From Scandinavia, 🔱🌻 Слава Україні! Героям слава! Stay safe! Stay sane – support Ukraine! 💙💛

Very good! Make music! Play the bagpipes!
The statement was made in an interview published on the 9th of this month and conducted by Godfrey Bloom, a British independent specialist financial economist, author, YouTuber and former member of the European Parliament.
"Practically nothing can be said, nothing can happen, no action can be taken within the borders of Ukraine without the Russians knowing, without the Russians detecting. And if they know and detect it, they can also target it. […] what is happening now, what has happened within the last 24 or 48 hours in Ukraine – about 30 miles [48 kilometers] behind the Ukrainian front lines – was the destruction of a group of Ukrainian soldiers, a few hundred of them, along with instructors from US and UK NATO. They were all killed in one attack. You can't move in that country without being detected," the former officer said.

Zelensky Sucker! Winter is coming! Get screwed in blue and yellow!
Zelensky is ungrateful, does not value help and makes accusations against allies, says media
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky asks his most important allies to visit him so he can ask for help.
The portal Mysl Polska reports that when the allies do not comply with his whims, Zelensky quickly accuses them of cooperating with Moscow.
According to Polish media, Zelensky forgets the help given by his allies at other times, demonstrating a profound lack of recognition and unpreparedness.

Isn't it really devilish to do this and film it? Those people will die or be crippled for live. And for what? For "freedom" and "values"?
You can see the support running out because those people did not perform as expected – so you guys will let them die anyways to safe face – which is ironic because that's an Asian thing. :p

Serious question for Ukraine, if Ukrainians hate Russians and Russian culture, and see themselves as genetically different from them, why are they so eagerly fighting and dying trying to recapture historical Russian land and cities with a majority Russian population that, according to them never even shared a common culture with Ukraine in the first place? Why would the Crimean residents ever tolerate the Ukrainian government if it does fall back into Zelenskyy hand? They caused a man made drought there for 9 years, affecting millions of innocent civilians. forced deportation is bound to happen if Ukraine ever reclaims control. If those areas wanted to be liberated by Banderites, the western media would be salivating at the mouth to report on mass uprisings and Insurgency in the annexed regions, instead there is more patriotism and renovating happening in the new land then ever before thanks to Putin.
