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.

Am wondering Why the West continue disinformation campaign against Russia instead of making peace… also why not accepting the military might of Kremlin instead of discrediting it when Cruise missiles are taking effects in Ukraine. Shameful

In Ukraine, in 2014, terrorists seized power with a military coup in the country! Since 2014, Ukraine does not have statehood! There was an unconstitutional military coup, the constitution was destroyed and the rights of all regions were violated. At the moment of anarchy in the country, there were regions that did not agree with the military coup and separated from Ukraine because their rights were violated! Such regions were Lugansk and Donetsk. The self-named government, which no one elected, led by Turchinov, launched a military operation to seize the dissenting regions. Later, the regions held an internal heading of peoples and decided to become republics, since Ukraine's statehood was destroyed, and they were fleeing from death.
Now Ukraine is committing terrorist attacks on the two republics of Donbass! This is terrorism! Do not support Ukraine! By supporting the crazy Ukrainian regime led by dictator Zelensky, you are sponsoring terrorism!

When the Russian Federation sent troops into Kazakhstan, it only took China one call to Moscow for Moscow to withdraw its troops. The United States guaranteed the security of Ukraine, but the war has been going on for 10 years. Is the US already weaker than China?

Why is western media crying, because of a first missel in Ukraine but Israel has cause over twenty five thousand deads and violently bombed gaza more than how tokyo was bombed during the second world war of course with the blessings of USA UK and Eu . Just wait for Russia, what Ukraine will see will see , and therecis nothing USA Nato can do when the bear awakes. USA Western coalition should never have poked the bear ,this was a fatal mistake the west shall live to regret but its too late , as international geo political stage now has new masters china , Russia, Iran, saudi Arabia , USA nato coalition can no longer hold the center .

This is certainly propaganda news for Ukraine by BBC. Continous military sopport for Ukraine by the west will prolong Ukraine's misery.Ukraine can't win this war, even the British intelligence service knows this. Ukraine has already lost about 1.2 million soldiers and millions of dollars worth of western supplied military aid. Ukraine is an inferior army compared to Russia's military. There's no way Ukraine can win this war. The best option for Ukraine is to encourage them to go for peace talk with Russia in order to preserve what remains of the country. The west should not continue to push Ukraine to fight Russia because In doing so Ukraine runs the risk of losing its statehood.Moreover , because of catastrophic human losses, there will soon be no more any Ukrainian soldiers left to continue fighting Russia.

Soon it is Christmas time again; our trying has done no good ; Shall we try again? Last Christmas I gave you my Heart, but the very next day, you gave it away. – Peace For Christmas? Theses Are my words:
“The best revenge is not to be like your enemy.” — Marcus Aurelius. “The war always with the self and peace is tge only way to win.
It’s individual, but any Warrior must know; Abouve you is a secret, that only we get.
It’s a matter of a meeting on you way; Cause there is no correct way, What is right or correct, is you path among the many.
Do no not expect other to fall, don expect your self to raise.
But expect to find peace, and you probably find it while you are bot seaching.
Aim for a good home,
What God want’s God get’s God help us all.
All we are left with is a codex from the Bible saying; Seek and Thou shall find, Ask and Thou shall get the answere. Knock, and the door will open.

Russia's has never flinched in their fight against Fascism and Nazism since ww2 but the resurgeance of right wings ideology in Western Europe diguised as political parties countering the influx of illegal immigrants has opened the doors wide to the once banned and immoral doctrine. Once again Russia is on the right side of history while the NATO facists philosophy of expansionism need to be stopped before it can drag the world into another even more perilous WW.

Израиль на протяжении многих лет сотрудничала с Хамас, допустила Хамас к политической сцене, вела переговоры многие лет.
Израиль со своей хваленой, супер разведкой допустили у себя трагедию, обманывая налогоплательщиков, что правительство Израиля самая лучшая и может защитить своих граждан и людей. Устраивать Бойню, Геноцид убивая мирных жителей Палестины за допущенные Израилям стратегической ошибки и халатности ответственных людей в Израиле, не даёт Право Израилю устраивать Геноцид!!!!
