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.

Thank you BBC for not forgetting about Ukraine, amidst the chaos in the world, new wars and conflicts unfolding, it is crucial to continue supporting the nation that is indeed holding the eastern front for the whole Western world in the fight for their freedom against a terrorist neighbour.

About the Russian Iskander missile attack that hit a cafe in the village of Groza, #Hroza, in Kharkiv region to Kupyansk direction. Apparently that the cafe was a gathering place for Ukrainian ultra nationalists from Aidar Battalion as targets, on the day of the funeral of one of the top leaders of their group which was attended by at least 150 of his last brothers in arms.

I don't know what they were thinking in 2014, killing innocent civilians in Donbas, including children…. Now they are paying the price. Russians have always defeated nazis. They've done it in WW2, and they're gonna do it again.

А чтож вы, европейские телеканалы в Донецк не ездите? Вам бы мирные граждане там ссказали, кто их реально 8 лет обстреливал!
Why don't you, European TV channels, go to Donetsk? The civilians there would have told you who really shelled them for 8 years!

German opposition leader hospitalized on suspicion of poisoning
Tino Chrupalla, one of the leaders of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, an opposition party to the government that has increased in popularity in recent years, was hospitalized after collapsing at a campaign event.
According to an announcement on the party's website, medical examinations carried out by the Ingolstadt Clinic confirm a "needle prick in the right arm".
Furthermore, an intramuscular infection with an unknown substance had occurred.
"The forensic toxicological analysis is ongoing," the AfD statement said.

Ukraine is now trapped
I feel for everyone that has been affected by the operation especially those that lived loved ones or a limb…
I hate to say this but the US is to blame for:
1. Over throwing the pro-Ukrainian President
2. violating an agreement not to expand eastwards…….
Russia was left with no choice and unfortunately our friends are paying the price…
